Hello Amplify!
It's been a while since I've written, but I have an article that I think all of you should read, and that the amplify community needs to be aware of and involved in.
Here's the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eve-ensler/over-it_b_1089013.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false
I think the reasons why I bring this up are pretty self-evident, but I'll say them anyway. Eve says without women, there is no future. But it's also true that without us, without young people, there is no future. So as we fight for better sex education for young people, for better reproductive health and rights for young people, let's also consider how we can eliminate rape culture and make the whole world better for young people. For ourselves, for each other, for our parents before us who haven't managed to make this happen. Their generation changed the world, true- it was after all the young people of the sixties and seventies that made "sex-positive" a reality. But there is work yet to be done. We need a culture where no means no, and yes means yes. 
Stand with me. Stand with Eve. Let's make this happen.
