Ten years ago, this month, I lost one of my dearest friends to homicide, but amidst the sadness, a light flickered in the distance. Gradually, yet deliberately, a silver lining began to sparkle around a very dark cloud, and from it emerged Girls Fight Back. The storm of June 12, 2001 was over, but not forgotten. The rainbow afterwards has been glorious–and thanks to the many people who have believed in our mission along the way, it has shone brightly for an entire decade.
How do we properly celebrate 10 years of changing lives…even saving lives? How do we begin to pay tribute to the gentle soul of Shannon McNamara, who inspired this entire campaign? Especially a movement that is global in scope, reaching women of all ages? Thanks to a little thing called the Internet, I think we can pull off this celebration quite swimmingly and include our friends across the world. How? We’re gonna throw an e-party!
What is an e-party, you ask? Well for us, it has four different dimensions…
1. BLOG: Throughout the month of June, we will be featuring our greatest influencers on the GFB blog. They will be sharing their thoughts, memories and insights from our adventures since 2001, as well as their ideas and hopes for the decade ahead. These people have deep insight into why this movement has worked and maybe even some embarrassing/fun/random tales for your enjoyment. (Note: all hilariously humiliating posts will likely feature me…) The folks blogging this month will be friends, fans, business comrades and super-fans. All of whom have contributed so much to GFB. Without their influence, GFB would not be what it is today. To all of them, I say THANK YOU.
2. TWITTER: If you’re a tweetin’ kind, be sure to search and save the hashtag #GFB10. It you tweet a happy birthday message to GFB this month, be sure to use that hashtag so we can re-tweet you!
3. FACEBOOK: We’ll also be posting the blog posts on the GFB Facebook page, as well as having fun giveaways and contests throughout the month. If you’re not already a fan, please come hang with us at our digital domicile.
4. ONLINE STORE: We’re offering 10% off for all orders placed at the GFB online store during the month of June. I especially recommend the GFB book and/or DVD as a graduation present for young women. At checkout, use discount code: GFB10
Hope you join us for this world wide web fiesta, and big thanks for your continued support. Cheers to the next ten years…
Strong. Resilient. Spirited. Unified.

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because
I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives
for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good
platform. part time jobs hired in 30 minutes https://parttimejobshiredin30minutes.wildapricot.org/
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries
that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the
nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take
a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be
a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

Some really good info , Gladiola I observed this. “War does not determine who is right – only who is left.” by Bertrand Russell.
You could certainly see your skills in the work you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart. “If the grass is greener in the other fellow’s yard – let him worry about cutting it.” by Fred Allen.
each time i used to read smaller articles or reviews that also clear
their motive, and that is also happening with this post which I am reading now.
