..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle.

Imagining Ourselves: A Global Generation of Women

an on-line exhibit "to raise the voices and status of young women, to unite and mobilize young women to make a difference, and to connect advocacy organizations with a wider public."

The International Museum of Women, based in San Francisco, CA, is open to the world through their website. Their current on-line exhibition, launched on March 8, 2006 has a different focus monthly. For December:

Theme of the Month: War & Dialogue
"Let us take you behind the headlines, beyond the endless images of death and destruction. There is another story about war that needs to be told.
It is the story of today’s young women—deeply affected by conflict around the world, but determined to react constructively. Instead of adding to the hysteria, they offer insight. They show us how conflict affects their communities; they probe the reasons that violence continues; they offer innovative solutions to alleviate suffering."

The on-line exhibit offers an opportunity for learning, dialogue and contributions to the site. There is also a book available: Imagining Ourselves: Global Voices from a New Generation of Women.
