The women at Amy Jackson's "Get Fed Up and End Hunger" breakfast in Huntsville, Ala., wrote letters to Congress, urging senators to continue funding international development programs. They collected 60 plus letters to Congress by week's end.
關廠工人絕食行動滿一週，在昨晚8：28「餓滿」150小時，勞委會則除了持續發表新聞稿隔空喊話，呼籲工人停止「過激」陳情行動外，也派出就業工作站員工拜訪關廠工人家屬，希望可以藉由親屬力量，讓抗爭工人願意簽署同意之前勞委會提出的「打折」還款方案。
這兩天絕食者陳滿屏一直處於又疲倦又氣憤的狀態。談起勞委會「拜訪」一事，她激動地說：「我人在勞委會前絕食抗議，勞委會不來找我溝通，跑去我屏東老家找我爸爸，84的老人家，勞委會的人見到他劈頭就說，你女兒在外面欠政府錢被告了，官司如果輸了要連本帶利還出來，你勸她現在趕快（在補助方案同意書上）簽名。」
「我4月28日開始在勞委會絕食，他不然找我談，卻跑去驚動老人家，然後對絕食的人不聞不問，我不知道這個政府怎麼了，我們把國家交給它，它卻這樣對待它的人民。」
陳滿屏指出，雖然勞委會只跟她追討20幾萬，自己並非還不出來，但心裡覺得很不甘心、氣不過，所以才放下小吃店生意持續抗議。她質疑，16年前他們歷經接連抗爭、臥軌後，終於在絕食28小時後，迫使當時的勞委會主委許介圭出面，但現在無論他們怎麼絕食，主委就是不願出面，讓她感到很痛心。
今天絕食者的狀況持續惡化，除了沈秋華在晚間因家庭、健康因素退出絕食外，幾名絕食者也持續出現頭暈、胃食道逆流、脫水現象。明天全關連將發起「國家橫行，工人恨行」行動，打算一路從勞委會走到新北地方法院，但絕食者則會留在現場，等待勞委會主委潘世偉出面。
雖然今天是假日，但勞委會勞資處仍發表新聞稿強調，他們已在5/2結合就業服務中心、地方政府勞政與社政單位等相關人員，針對548戶逾貸勞工，親自到宅訪視，說明補助要點內容，並表達勞委會關懷之意；截至5/3為止，勞委會已完成全部訪視。
此外，勞委會也在桃園就業服務站提供定點說明、現場收件服務，約有28人到站接受諮詢，其中16人現場遞交文件辦理申請，另提供13人到宅個別諮詢服務，並協助年紀老邁、行動不動之申請者撰寫申請表。5/5上午10～12時，勞委會將在同一地點持續提供相關服務。

關廠工人絕食行動邁入第三天，截至晚間7：28為止，這群最高齡到78歲，多數也超過50歲的絕食人士們，已經絕食超過53小時。
與昨天相較之下，今天每一位絕食人士的精神看來又更差一些，主要可能是睡眠狀態不佳，精神持續處於緊繃狀態所引起。
昨天沈秋華的雙手有明顯浮腫，但今天稍微消退一些。殷必雄昨天血糖過低，血壓也偏高，今天看來還是很累，不過似乎和昨天差別不大。本來在經營小吃店的陳滿屏從第一天就喊餓，不過她說進入第三天後，飢餓感開始消退了。
下午絕食行動滿48小時時，全關連在勞委會前又開了一場記者會。黃德北批評：「天安門事變的時候，我人就在現場。當初學生說要絕食，中共的統戰部就立刻派人和學生溝通，希望不要絕食。到了絕食的後期，中共的總理李鵬就跟學生見面，到最後連中共的總書記趙紫陽都到現場探視學生。可是，我們這裡有那麼多工人在絕食，勞委會卻沒有任何官員來和工人接觸。勞委會提出方案真的好的話，應該來和工人接觸、談判，但他沒有任何行動。」
明天就是五一勞動節，幾名絕食工人說，如果體力允許的話，他們也希望能一起參加遊行。絕食工人簡素卿則說，就算沒辦法走，她坐輪椅也要參加，要用全部力氣爭取工人權益。

A sad image I captured yesterday while in Manhattan.
At first I was skeptical about putting it on flickr ..til I realized the strong message it sends.

• Members of Jim's family, Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan, had emigrated to Boston during the Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór) in 1850 (Armagh) and 1852 (Ballygiblin, Cork) respectively. Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan were married in Boston (Charlestown) on October 1, 1854. Daniel and his brother Neil were two of the five founding members of the American Society of Hibernians in Boston on March 17, 1857; incorporated March 27, 1861 (later merging with Ancient Order of Hibernians). This organization was formed "for the purpose of rendering assistance to the sick and disabled members of their society, and also of providing for the decent burial of the dead". Jim's great great uncle from Drumkeeran Ireland, Thomas McPartlin, performed traditional music on the banjo in Boston during the late 1800's. Jim great great aunt, from (Ballygiblin, Cork), Bridget Callahan (buried at New Calvary, Mattapan) married Daniel Murphy (Galway) in Boston Nov 5, 1876 at Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston (Dedicated on December 8, 1875). Bridget Callahan stayed in Ireland until she was 21 years (born about 1851-1852).
• Dr. E. Moore Quinn wrote on the subject of the Irish Famine: "...a recently composed pipe lament by Jim McKenna entitled, 'Bridget O‘Donnel: A Victim of Famine'.

Immersion in this work invariably produces in me a profound sense of melancholy or lack. This, no doubt, is an intimation of the unconscionable loss...". Jim McKenna "Lament for Bridget O‘Donnel" & "Skibbereen (The Great Famine)".
• Pilgrimage in Practice: Narration, Reclamation and Healing (CABI, April 2018). Dr. E.

Quando l’uomo
entra nella donna
come l’onda scava la riva,
ripetutamente,
e la donna, godendo, apre la bocca
e i denti le luccicano
come un alfabeto,
il Logos appare mungendo una stella,
e l’uomo
dentro la donna
stringe un nodo
perché mai più loro due
si separino
e la donna si fa fiore
che inghiotte il suo gambo
e il Logos appare
e sguinzaglia i loro fiumi.
Quest’uomo e questa donna
con la loro duplice fame
hanno cercato di spingersi oltre
la cortina di Dio, e ci sono
riusciti per un momento,
anche se poi Dio
nella sua perversione
scioglie il nodo.
_______
When man
enters woman,
like the surf biting the shore,
again and again,
and the woman opens her mouth in pleasure
and her teeth gleam
like the alphabet,
Logos appears milking a star,
and the man
inside of woman
ties a knot
so that they will
never again be separate
and the woman
climbs into a flower
and swallows its stem
and Logos appears
and unleashes their rivers.
This man,
this woman
with their double hunger,
have tried to reach through
the curtain of God
and briefly they have,
though God
in His perversity
unties the knot.
Anne Sexton
*********
A chi raccontiamo ciò che è accaduto
sulla terra, per chi sistemiamo ovunque
specchi enormi, nella speranza che riflettano
qualcosa e non svanisca?

I liked your velvet yoni, Annalena, long voyages in the delta of your legs.
A striving upstream toward your beating heart through more and more savage currents saturated with the light of hops and bindweed.
And our vehemence and triumphant laughter and our hasty dressing in the middle of the night to walk on the stone stairs of the upper city.
Our breath held in amazement and silence, porosity of worn-out stones and the great door of the cathedral.
Over the gate of the rectory fragments of brick among weeds, in darkness the touch of a rough buttressed wall.
And later our looking from the bridge down to the orchard, when under the moon every tree is separate on its kneeler, and from the secret interior of dimmed poplars the echo carries the sound of a water turbine.
To whom do we tell what happened on the earth, for whom do we place everywhere huge mirrors in the hope that they will be filled up and will stay so?
Always in doubt whether it was we who were there, you and I, Annalena, or just anonymous lovers on the enameled tablets of a fairyland.
