National Protest: March for Marriage Equality : Seattle joined the national protest against the passage of California's Proposition 8 on Saturday November 15, 2008.  The event began with festivities and a rally at Volunteer Park.  The march proceeded to Westlake Center and culminated with a second rally.   This event represented an expression of solidarity -- marchers were from  LGBT and straight communities, marchers represented a variety of religious and non religious groups as well as communities of color.  Several elected officials showed their support as all spoke together about the need for marriage equality and civil rights for all.  We are not free until all are free.

Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal: Genocide and Justice : Recent events in Congo, Darfur and Somalia underscore the persistence of genocide as a political, legal and ethical problem, and ultimately as a humanitarian problem. In 1994, the horror of genocide happened in Rwanda when a 100-day rampage left more than 800,000 dead.

In response to the Rwanda experience the United Nations created a unique institution—the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Now we can begin to ask: What quality of justice has this tribunal delivered? How might the tribunal contribute to reconciliation? How does what we learn from the conduct and results of the tribunal have the potential to prevent future genocides in Rwanda and elsewhere?

On Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2009, at Kane Hall on the University of Washingotn (Seattle) campus, a series of compelling videos gave voice to the judges, prosecutors, defense counsel, administrators, interpreters, investigators, jailers, psychologist and others associated with the ICTR. A presentation was given by University of Washington Information School Professor Batya Friedman and a team of experts from UW and Seattle University School of Law.
