Free Pussy Riot

[mariamma]

Pussy Riot (http://www.change.org/FreePussyRiot) is a punk feminist group in Russia. They are charged with hooliganism and bound to be locked up for 7 years for protesting the wedding of Putin cronyism and the Orthodox Church. Amnesty International and other progressive organizations are spearheading their release.

This is a Lauren | Ep. 1 of 3 | Feat. Troian Bellisario & Jennifer Beals | WIGS - YouTube, good but very hard to watch. Major triggering event for me and probably for others.
If you subscribe to the series on youtube, SWAN gets a 50 cent donation. My hats off to Anu Bhagwati and SWAN (http://servicewomen.org/?011) for their difficult and tireless work.
