Silence Is The Enemy.

Since launch yesterday, Arikia Millikan has volunteered to create a central website (I'll share the url when it's live) and reader Christine set up a facebook group, which already swells with over 1,100 members. There have been a deluge of excellent blog posts, including one by Nicholas Kristof--author of the NYTimes piece that inspired me to act. I've been most touched by your emails of personal stories, making it clearer than ever that sexual abuse continues to be dramatically under reported here in the United States as well.

Our blogger coalition grows every hour and more bloggers have joined us in donating all June revenue to Doctors Without Borders. Since income is determined by traffic, readers can contribute with each click to: The IntersectionOn Becoming A Domestic And Laboratory GoddessAetiologyNeurotopiaBioephemeraThe Questionable AuthorityAdventures in Ethics and ScienceDrugMonkeyBlog Of The Moderate Left Seattle Grassroots Examiner We'll continue posting stories, updates, and progress (as well as regular Intersection topics) throughout the month. Tremendous thanks to all who have joined the initiative so far. In less than 24 hours, we've started to create momentum. ..and this is only the beginning.
