Freedom at a Cost By Zidane

Freedom at a Cost With gallant demeanors and flags raised With want of peace, but death standing just at bay With conflict arisen in the streets Tear-heavy eyes begin to leak For war is something that is spoken of As if it is something that us humans love As if it is something that we just do As if it is something we want to Have in our society Have over us like a black cloud Hanging over our heads Making a dark shroud But there are men and women who understand That war is not so plain and bland War means death Death for you Death for your family Death for your enemies For your friends, too Too late, though, The flags have been raised The guns have been brandished And for a moment, you just gaze For a moment, your opponents you study, Appraise For a moment, that lasts a millennia You muster your strength, Your love Your hate Love for the ideals you protect And for the hate of black slaves And as around you the shouting starts The screaming begins Sc

50-50 Day is an international day discussing what it’s going to take to get to 50/50 between men and women in all aspects of society. 50-50 Day was started by my mom, Tiffany Shlain. 50-50 Day was at first just a twenty minute film, 50/50, on the past, present and future of women in power. It was released just weeks before the election, meant to welcome in the 1st female president of the US. However, after unexpected results in the 2016 presidential telection Shlain realized that this conversation was more important than ever… it made the film even more potent. Shlain decided to create 50-50 Day. Shlain had worked with this model previously with Character Day, which was shown at schools across the world including Mill Valley Middle School. 50-50 Day, which was on May 10th, had worldwide screenings of the film all over the world along with global discussion on gender equality as well as interviews with Rosie Rios, former Treasurer of the United States, Dolores Huerta, activist, Eva Lon
