12 Year Old Pulled Over While Trying to Save Her Puppy In Texas, a 12 year old girl, home sick from school, was thrown into a terrifying situation. Her mom wasn’t answering, and her brand-new puppy was dying before her eyes.

Panicked but determined, she grabbed the car keys. Though she had never driven before, she made it nearly a mile toward the nearest vet, until flashing lights appeared behind her.

The officer who pulled her over quickly realized what was happening. Without hesitation, he rushed the puppy into his car and sped to the vet. Thanks to his quick thinking, the puppy survived.

The girl, already overwhelmed with guilt, was later taken to her mom’s workplace. Before leaving, the officer turned to the mother and said:

“I’d usually give you a lecture, hoping you’d raise a better child. But ma’am you’ve raised an amazing, strong, compassionate, and smart young woman. Let’s just make sure she learns what side of the road to drive on in a few years.”

ISO: DENIM JEANS BY April 9th!!!
In support of:
Sexual harassment
Sexual violence
Domestic violence and otherwise.

If you have women’s denim jeans of any size that you no longer need,
please consider dropping them off in the bin next to the red free library in the front of our house.

Why you ask???

I am currently working on a “denim day” project on a local Army Installation. If you are not aware of what “denim day” - here goes!

HISTORY

Italy, 1990s
An 18-year old girl is picked up by her married 45-year old driving instructor for her very first lesson. He takes her to an isolated road, pulls her out of the car, wrestles her out of one leg of her jeans and forcefully r**es her. Threatened with death if she tells anyone, he makes her drive the car home. Later that night she tells her parents, and they help and support her to press charges. The perpetrator is arrested and prosecuted. He is convicted of r**e and sentenced to jail.

He appeals the sentence. The case makes it all the way to the Italian Supreme Court. Within a matter of days the case against the driving instructor is overturned, dismissed, and the perpetrator released. In a statement by the Chief Judge, he argued, “because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them, and by removing the jeans it was no longer r**e but consensual sex.”

Enraged by the verdict, within a matter of hours the women in the Italian Parliament launched into immediate action and protested by wearing jeans to work. This call to action motivated and emboldened the California Senate and Assembly to do the same, which in turn spread to Patricia Giggans, Executive Director of Peace Over Violence, and Denim Day in LA was born. The first Denim Day in LA was in April 1999, and has continued every year since.

We continue to do what we can, when we can for our community! I hope those of you who can, and have denim to provide will take some time out of your day to donate!

Each pair of jeans collected will represent a woman that has experienced one of the above acts; and will be displayed on the installation for a visual representation of woman who have experienced sexual violence or otherwise.

Please consider cleaning out your closet and dropping off jeans you no longer need!

Thank you in advance!

A note to local friends and family from our home to yours,

Community, share, gather repeat...
Family, friends, traditions to keep.
Work, kids and obligations...
The Hudson Valley light-show needs a vacation!
We got real busy and priorities grew...
before we knew it, had too much to do.
This year we are saddened to have to tell you...
the light-show is half of what we usually do.
We regret our lack of time management skills,
but honestly won’t miss the electric bills...
Next year we hope to continue to our mission...
to give to our community our full light-show tradition.
See you next year, as far as we know... time will be kinder for a full on light-show.

Happy Holidays!
