All We're Asking Is For a Little Respect
We talk a lot about respect on DearSugar, so today's National Respect Day caught my eye. The RESPECT! Campaign is adding more meaning to this important word by educating people about domestic violence.
Visit GiveRespect.org and $5 will be Donated on Your Behalf!
Each time you offer an “act of respect” on the RESPECT! campaign site, giverespect.org, Geoffrey Beene will donate $5 to the Family Violence Prevention Fund. This is a great way for you to give back and support during these difficult economic times!

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to an end, I want to remind everyone that this is an issue facing 1 in every 3 women and more than 10 million children in today’s society. Together, we can and will change this. Please continue to help raise awareness for this issue by educating your friends and family, writing about it on your blog, buying a RESPECT!

By Andrew Walden July 29, 2008 In a July 14 news release the “Honolulu Community Media Council” (HCMC) denounces Accuracy In Media and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for “shoddy journalism and smear tactics.” HCMC, headed by Chris Conybeare of the University of Hawaii, “finds” that “there is no substance to the claim” that “Frank Marshall Davis was a lifelong Communist and a mentor to (presidential candidate Barack) Obama.” Conybeare may be hoping that nobody else knowing the post-WW II history of Hawaii is willing to talk. Davis, it turns out, was just one member of a network whose works continue to exert influence to this day. Connecting the Dots A faculty member of the UH-West Oahu Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR), Conybeare is producer of a many-part PBS series on the history of labor organizing in Hawaii, focusing on the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).
