Georgia State Representative Park Cannon Arrested for Knocking on Governor Kemp’s Door During the Signing of Controversial Voting Bill

Democratic State Representative Park Cannon was arrested on Thursday for knocking on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s door; the proceedings happening in Kemp’s office were about new limitations on mail-in voting. The legislation will heavily impact Black voting in the State; as it seems to lean towards expanding access to in-person early voting, Cannon said she was arrested for “fighting voter suppression,” according to NPR news.

Success On “The Way” Ask Dr. Jeanette: Sex Strike!? What!!?

A sex strike, =non-violent resistance and not a new concept, dates back to at least Aristophanes’ 411 BC comedy “Lysistrata,” the title character attempts to end the Peloponnesian War by calling on women from the warring city states to withhold sex until peace is negotiated. Spike Lee’s film “Chi-Raq” brought the concept to present-day Chicago as a means of drawing attention to the city’s gang violence…Women’s March and other women’s rights organizations suggests women withhold sex from men, because clearly only men desire sex(??) and women acquiesce to their needs out of pity or sense of responsibility.
