Each week, I’ll be posting a list of the most news-worthy and/or inspirational, informative, well-written, thought-provoking, and/or unique posts of the week. While every post and every contributor is valuable to our community, these are the blogs that I feel are must-reads.

July 18- July 24

Three Simple Arguments To Use Against The Anti-Marriage Equality Crowd- by Jordan

Why I chose this post:

The title is pretty self-explanatory, but Jordan explains each point very well, and definitely with a lot of passion. 

Durbin Turns His Back on the Dreamers- by AFY_Sarah

Why I chose this post:

Senator Durbin recently called a sit-in by a group of DREAM Act activists, “inappropriate behavior” and a “publicity stunt.” In my opinion, it is attitudes like that which should encourage more people to engage in civil disobedience. 

Thought the fight was over after health care was over? Think again- by AFY_Sarah

Why I chose this post:

This post talks about the Obama administration’s new policy of denying abortion coverage to women in the temporary, high-risk health insurance pool. As Sarah says, “it’s time to get angry.” 
Latest NOM Outrage: Appropriation and Unconstitutionality in Annapolis, Maryland- by Jordan

Why I chose this post:

Jordan shares an excellent video from the Courage Campaign about a NOM rally in Maryland. 

Major Success: Texas School District Ditches “Abstinence-Only,” Adopts “Abstinence-Plus”- by miniMIZE

Why I chose this post: A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about the possibility that a central Texas school district would ditch abstinence-only policies and adopt abstinence-plus. Now I’m writing about that reality. 
Check out this great success story from Texas! 

Thank you to everyone who posted a blog this week! You are part of what makes this community great!
