Ellis Island Immigration Museum. One in three Americans has an ancestor who landed here in Ellis Island near Jersey City, NJ between 1892 to 1954.
This interesting exhibit shows the gender distribution of new immigrants to U.S. for every 15 years from 1860 to 1994. Notice that in early years more men than women came here, then it switched other way around from 1920s, finally the equality in the 1980s. :-)
Mit einer bewegenden Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor machten 100 Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Animal Equality auf die tragischen Folgen der heutigen Tiernutzung aufmerksam. Jeder Einzelne hielt ein Tier in den Händen, welches als Folge der Nutztierhaltung gestorben war. Die Aktivisten machten auf diese Weise das Leiden von Tieren in unserer Gesellschaft sichtbar und setzten sich gleichzeitig für mehr Mitgefühl und Gerechtigkeit für alle Tiere ein.
Die 100 toten Tiere, darunter Lämmer, Küken, Ferkel und Hühner, standen stellvertretend für alle getöteten Tiere durch den Menschen, vor allem durch den Konsum tierischer Produkte. Die Tiere sind in Mastanlagen, Tierversuchslaboren oder anderen Orten der industrialisierten Tiernutzung während ihrer Haltung gestorben und entsorgt worden.
Zahlreiche Menschen blieben stehen und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Unsere Botschaft wurde somit an unzählige Passanten weitergetragen. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort, um über die Aktion zu berichten und die Leiden der Tiere öffentlich zu thematisieren.

Signs and car window placard urging passage of Proposition 5, the Anchroage Equal Rights Initiative.
About 40 people turned out for a presentation about discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) Alaskans during the Adult Education Hour on Sunday, 19 Feb 2012 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Anchorage. Rev. Drew Phoenix, one of the clergy leaders of Christians for Equality, discussed how discrimination impacts the lives of all citizens and answered questions. On the following Sunday, 26 Feb 2012, Trevor Storrs of One Anchorage will lead the Adult Education Hour discussion on Proposition 5, the Anchorage Equal Rights Initiative, which is on the April 3, 2012 muncipal election ballot for the Municipality of Anchorage. If passed, Prop 5 will amend Anchorage’s equal rights code to provide the same legal protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender identity that are already provided based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, age, physical disability, and mental disability. All are welcome.
While working in the Community Safety Strategy Unit with the Police a few moons ago (circa 2009) I set up this little photo shoot with Lego sourced on eBay to advertise ways that LGBT people who wanted to report hate crime could engage with the police following a spate of violent homophobic motivate attacks. I worked in partnership with Gay Men's Health, an NGO, and they flyers went down a storm. The Daily Mail even tried to convince us Lego wanted to litigate against us which drew attention to our campaign and the Chief Constable said 'you must be doing something right.'
Timor-Leste: Prime Minister Rui Maria Araujo
“The Timor-Leste Constitution…provides that men and women must be treated equally in all aspects of life.… Our Government…prioritized action to end the discrimination of women and girls…and to stop gender-based violence. Timor-Leste fully supports [Sustainable Development Goal 5], which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. We also recommit to implement the Beijing Platform for Action as we celebrate 20 years since its adoption. Our country has a proud history of support for women. During our fight for independence, women participated actively in all fronts of the struggle. And now Timor-Leste has one of the biggest proportions of women parliamentarians in the world and the highest in the Asia-Pacific region. In our last elections, 38 per cent of those elected to the national parliament were women. …We must improve the situation of women and address the pervasive gender discrimination if we are to meet our development goals. …We fully commit to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls.”
World leaders convene at the United Nations on 27 September 2015 for the “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” to personally commit to ending discrimination against women by 2030 and announce concrete and measurable actions to kick-start rapid change in their countries.

Feminism was a movement at one point in time. It is an ideology now. It was a movement to unite women together. This movement was seeking equality and equal status for women and men. In order to possess opportunity and autonomy feminism was empowered. The power and beauty of feminism were into equality. As radical feminism came into light, the real meaning and power of feminism have lost.

These stacked plumbing pipes in a hardware store represent the concept of equality to me ... in the way that "while all these pipes are sorta equal, some pipes are more pipey than others".

Entry for Daily Shoot 618: "Illustrate the word equality today with a photograph that shows your favorite interpretation."
Animal Equality veröffentlicht schockierendes Bildmaterial aus Vorzeigehöfen der deutschen Eierindustrie. Einige dieser Betriebe werden von verschiedenen Siegeln ausgezeichnet. Aktuelle Filmaufnahmen aus zwei Biobetrieben und zwei Betrieben, die Hennen in Boden- und Freilandhaltung halten, decken die traurige Realität von Hühnern in alternativen Haltungsformen auf.
Das sind die schockierenden Ergebnisse der Recherche:
• die Tiere leiden unter extremer Enge und Stress
• kranke, verletzte und sterbende Hühner
• verweste Kadaver zwischen noch lebenden Artgenossen
• ausgepickte Federkleider bei einem Großteil der Hennen
• mangelhafte Hygiene, blutige Geschwüre, Eileiterentzündungen und andere Verletzungen
Die Bilder belegen eindeutig, dass Legehennen auch in Vorzeigebetrieben mit alternativen Haltungsformen, einschließlich verschiedener Biosiegel, an ihrer Gefangenhaltung leiden. Lebende und fühlende Individuen zu Produktionsmaschinen zu degradieren, kann nur zu Lasten der Tiere geschehen. Wir können problemlos Eier und Eiprodukte durch tierfreundliche Alternativen ersetzen und das Leiden und den Tod von Millionen leidensfähigen Individuen pro Jahr vermeiden.
Jetzt das Ei-Versprechen geben und sich für Hühner stark machen: www.animalequality.de/eiversprechen

NYC Pride March
47 years after the Stonewall Riots of June 28, 1969
The 47th NYC Pride March started at noon on June 26, at 5th Avenue and 36th Street in Manhattan. The route proceeded through Midtown down 5th Avenue, before heading west into Greenwich Village, ending at Christopher and Greenwich Streets.
Heritage of Pride, Inc. (HOP / NYC Pride) is a non-profit organization that plans and produces New York City's official LGBT ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride events each year.
Heritage of Pride hosts New York City’s Pride events in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
Stonewall riots happened 47 years ago in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the LGBT community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the LGBT liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT equal rights in the United States.
The 2016 Pride March happened on the one-year anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The 2016 march also happened to come just days after Stonewall Inn, the famous gay bar located in Greenwich Village, was designated as the first national LGBT monument in the U.S.
On Monday, June 27th 2016 the Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) designation took place in New York City. The monument sits across the street from The Stonewall Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its involvement in the beginning of the modern struggle for civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) Americans.
Remarks from - President Barack Obama June 2016
"I’m designating the Stonewall National Monument as the newest addition to America’s national parks system. Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights. I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country – the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us. That we are stronger together. That out of many, we are one."
Hillary Clinton made an unannounced appearance and was joined by New York State Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Rev. Al Sharpton

MLK Mall & "Balance of Equality"
1993
On December 8, 1983 NIU's governing board approved Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commons as the name for the area where this memorial sculpture and sculptor Peter Fagan's life-size bust of MLK (1993) resides. Nardi's sculpture "Balance of Equality" (1991) is based on the Reverend King's "Christmas Sermon on Peace" and engraved are two quotes from the speech on the base of the sculpture. The brick and concrete walkways and landscaping were completed in 1992.
