Change Your Day

A revitalized blog with one mission: to present a moment that jolts your day, triggers new thinking, gets you through traffic tangles, and relieves job stress. Or, more prosaically, accompanies you through the early miles of bike touring through France and Italy. Wherever you are, I aim to change your day.

MARIE EQUI  Now Appearing on TV via YouTube

2/25/2016

 
The story of the fiercely independent lesbian activist Marie Equi has come to YouTube. Earlier this month I was interviewed by David Perry, program host of Ten Percent on Comcast TV Channel 104 serving the San Francisco Bay Area. Perry’s broadcasts feature the diversity of the Bay Area’s rich LGBTQ community and document its history.
 
This nine-minute interview recounts Equi’s early adult days on a homestead, her defense of a girlfriend with a horsewhipping in the center of a small Oregon town, and her heroic relief work following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Only so much can be covered in nine minutes, but I mentioned as well Equi’s fight for voting rights, economic justice, and free speech.
 
MARIE EQUI: Radical Politics and Outlaw Passions published by Oregon State University Press in September 2015 is available at bookstores and online.
