Lyrics that Speak

Dear F4J members,
I know this blog seems like its not running, but dont worry; its some what dormant. We have been going through things kind of slow, but projects are sure to be started up in the summer time (t-shirt campaigns for change, merchandising, crazy things to promote change on the street, etc.) Wanna hear some old school hiphop mixed with a little bit of today? Check out the list of new YouTube videos, all from a confident woman who loves to rap (and make sure to rate and comment if you have a Youtube account).  This week, the week of Spring Break, is all about music. Post a comment with 1-6 lines from a song that spoke to you this month. Please also post the artist and the song name. Here is my choice:
Eleanor Rigby (also known as "All the lonely people") By the Beatles
Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
¨¨¨¨
Remember that just because no one is telling you to make change, doesnt mean you wont try. Fightforjustice))

-F4J

TAKING ACTION

Some ideas to kick off FIGHT4JUSTICE:

-Create custom-made shirts for our cause

-Type up a little newspaper/flyer raising awareness on sweatshops and distribute among neighbourhoods

-Influence others to not buy products made anywhere in Asia

-Write an article to your local newspaper
