Vote in JusticeMakers 2008: the Competition for Innovations that Combat Torture and Legal Abuse

The JusticeMakers 2008 competition will provide eight "heroes of criminal justice" with $5,000 to seed and support their innovative projects that combat torture and end legal abuse.

The project was launched by International Bridges to Justice, an entrepreneurial social venture founded by 2002 Echoing Green fellow Karen Tse. IBJ works to make sure that every citizen of every country in the world has access to legal defense.

Voting in this contest will give you a chance to learn more about the incredibly important issues of torture and legal abuse facing a huge chunk of the world, as well as support the innovative work not only of IBJ but human rights defenders everywhere.

This is a one-time pledge that can be fulfilled any time.

Hiya All,

Happy New Year. Thanx for the efforts, friends, your work here is impressive. An injustice to any is an injustice to all, "we, the people...", can't allow it :)   For e.g., the fundamental thing taught by Jesus was destruction and murder are of no profit or pleasure, something almost all supposed Christians are anti-thetically opposed to, as is your gov't; and a gleaning from Native American teaching, et al, all life are needed threads in the fabric of life. Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother :) The more art is given, the more it is, as is life. Very cool site, I like it, even though I've only been on it for a couple days, and, unlike many others that are similar, this one's 'buzz' seems to be keeping it growing; which is necessary. A twig of poetree :)

Hustled and bustled,
Still, hands only put to heart,
Beings, only art.

Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother. Yet, that will not be enough to realize the possibility of the stopping of the extinction of humanity and large mammals we can see racing towards us from the future, on the horizon; we must change everything   :)

I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye. For those interested :) "of or pertaining to the morning, day: relating to or happening in the morning or in the early part of the day (formal), (Mid-16th century, from late Latin matutinalis, from Matuta, goddess of the dawn.)".

Matutinally Yours,
