Save the Breastmilk!

It has come to my attention that breastmilk is one of the fluids being disallowed on airplanes for security reasons. Any breastfeeding mother knows how precious pumped breastmilk is, but I am sure there are many out there who do not understand the issue.

I have added my name to a petition being sent to the Transportation Security Administration. Click this link to learn more:

Please educate yourself on this issue and consider signing on...

Equality Now & Search Engines

My Belly dance company, The Goddess Dancing, supports an organiztion called Equality Now. It is an an international human rights organization dedicated to action for the civil, political, economic and social rights of girls and women. We donate 1% of our annual profits to this group.
Some of the issues of concern to Equality Now include:


RAPE
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
SEX TRAFFICKING
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION
POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
GENDER DISCRIMINATION


Now here is a really easy way you can help support this excellent orgnaization - by using GoodSearch as your search engine.

You use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine—but each time you do, money is generated for their work on behalf of women and girls around the world. Each time you search $.01 is donated to Equality Now. Last year, search engines generated close to $6 billion in revenue from advertisers. With GoodSearch part of this advertising revenue will now be directed to Equality Now.
