Anyone can tell you there’s no more road to ride

A blog focused on stories/news/facts/quotes of oppression, abuse, empowerment, women's rights, race/class/gender/sexuality, ableism and many many more. We welcome criticism (see below for contact) in order to keep having an on-going dialogue what what NEEDS to change in us and in the world around us.
We hold a strong belief that actions stem from ideology and philosophy. We need new philosophies and new ideologies. Actions and inactions around us in society currently demonstrate an old ideology/philosophy that still excludes people. We want and need to transform that.
