Folks, if you haven’t heard, early voting has started in Nevada (and lasts through Oct. 29 — look up a convenient polling place here!). People, the whole nation is watching Nevada on this one. Let’s not pull a Florida 2000, okay? No matter what you’re political persuasion, let’s get out there and vote! No embarrassing…
April is national Sexual Assault Awareness Month, or SAAM. I know there are a lot of “awareness” months and events, but here’s why I think you should care: Every two minutes, someone in America is sexually assaulted, according to RAINN (the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network). And according to the US Dept. of Justice…
Even though I can’t enter The Vagina Monologues photo contest, I still thought it would be fun to take some photos of what makes me happy and hopeful for a sexual-violence-free world. (PS: There’s one day left to enter the contest! See below for details and rules!)
Have you taken your photo for The Sin City Siren Vagina Monologues photo contest, yet? The winner will receive two free tickets to one of the local productions this Friday or Saturday. Need some inspiration? How about this pic from my childhood friend Monika Thomas, who hosts Sexploration with Monika Thomas out of San Francisco…
The local production of The Vagina Monologues is coming up in a week and The Sin City Siren is supporting this event. Now you can, too, by entering for a chance to win two tickets to one of the shows on Friday (April 9) or Saturday (April 10) night! (Of course, you can go without…
Welcome to the annual charitable giving list for 2009! These are just some of the ways you can give back while indulging in the mass-consumer, gift orgy of the December holidays. And as always, I don’t get anything for posting this but a smile. There’s a lot on the list that hasn’t changed from last…
I like this new PSA from RAINN – Rape Abuse and Incest National Network: If you or someone you know needs help, contact your local police and you can get further services from RAINN’s national 24/7 hotline: 1.800.656.HOPE. (They also have an online hotline.) Locally we have some dedicated folks over at the Rape Crisis…
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, as I mentioned before. So first off let me apologize that I didn’t get this up earlier (special apology to UNLV’s Take Back the Campus event April 15, which I wanted to promote). Unfortunately, you can’t really plan for going to an out-of-state funeral, so I guess that’s how…
I’m taking a break from being sick to do a quicky post on this because it’s a really important issue to me. I’m not sure what local events are going on for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but you can register yours with RAINN (Rape Abuse & Incest National Network) here or with NSVRC here. And…
Oh how I want that to be my hyperbolic liberal mind-set and not the reality. But no, in fact, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by Chrissy Mazzeo against Gov. Jim Gibbons when he allegedly grabbed her and shoved her against a wall in a parking garage just weeks before the 2006 election that made…
