Two-Spirits: a movie about Fred Martinez Jr
Mari V. Tuesday, April 13, 2010;
When I was little, I always knew my biological father was different than other dads. I used to tell my childhood friends, "My Dad acts like your Mom." I remember the times when he would realize he would seem more feminine and then try to 'buck up' and act more masculine. I thought it was always funny, and didn't really understand it when I was little. I remember telling him, "Dad, I like it more when your like a girl instead of you trying to be a boy."

It’s been a little over two years since I graduated with my B.A. degree in Humanities Public Policy while surviving on welfare with my three young daughters, thinking that not only would I be able to help change the world for the better, but to also have the sole ability to pull my family out of poverty and get a stable living wage job.
It was a warm night...A poem in honor of a young brother, Idriss Stelley, shot down by police
It was a warm night
the kind that drips
with pain
It was a warm night
filled with whispers
and screams
you can peel that
kind of night away
with your fingernails -
you can cry into
that kind of night
and no-one will hear you
it was a warm night
filled with you ...

We took them from you before: one family's nightmare with mistaken identity and abuse of Child Protective Services.

"Why do you have all of your kids? We took them all from you before?" a San Leandro Police Officer spoke roughly to Elsa Maldonado.
Confused and shocked, Elsa watched as the police officers put handcuffs on her husband and wrongly accused him of a crime he didn't commit.
"No one has ever taken away my family before. Get those handcuffs off of my husband he didn't do anything wrong!" she screamed while her husband tried again and again to explain that he didn't know who "Monica" was or why the police were arresting him.
