[Reader-list] [Announcements] WHEN DID YOU BECOME AN ACTION HERO?

[Jasmeen P]

Hello!

Last march 8 (Women'sDay), we had a blog-a-thon that asked you to blog
stories of street sexual harassment. It began with an announcement on this
blog that was picked up by bloggers across India, and soon in different
parts of the world. We shared stories we had never shared before, sometimes
stories we thought we had long forgotten, stories that we had often wanted
to bury. We read each other, we linked to each other and we linked back to
the Blank Noise Project blog. We were touched by each other's stories, moved
by them, and, we like to imagine, drew strength and sustenance from the the
long, cross-cultural chain of shared experiences.

It's this strength that we're asking you to share experiences of, on March
8th, 2007. The baton is handed over right here, right now! Announce this on
your blog and on the morning of March 8th, 2007, share with us a story (or
two, or five or...) of fighting back?!

When did you flip a situation so you could resist, when did you give back as
hard as you got? When and how did you choose to confront? When did you
become an Action Hero?

Action heroes have formed the theme of the last few Blank Noise
interventions and it's this spirit we ask you to share and celebrate on
March 8 , 2007!

So announce the blog-a-thon, and on March 8, share your action story!

If you are a male blogger and wondering how you fit in, tell us about an
Action Hero you know!

To participate:
1. announce the event.
2. blog your story
3. email us about it and we will link you right away!

Please email us at blurtblanknoise at gmail.com/ subject titled Action Heroes
Online.

Thankyou!

Blank Noise!
