WITNESS and the HUB
As we have said in previous post the power of the video have no limits. Just think about the images that we saw coming from the Beijing Olympics ceremony, or the images we saw coming from the quick war between Russia and Georgia. But there are other important issues that go uncovered. There are heart-breaking stories that go unheard. What news networks tend to cover are the political side of the issues, but hardly the human side. The reason being that they think they are not news worthy.

Why I think PulseWire is a major tool we should all support...
HI all,
I wanted to add a personal comment to the project description for PulseWire (www.pulsewire.net) because I truly believe that the mission and features of the project and web portal could dramatically change women's lives by putting needed resources and tools into their hands. I hope you will take another look at this project and realize how significant a project it is and help us to get it developed to share with all.
