“Some 70 percent of women experience in their lifetime some form of physical or sexual violence from men – the majority from husbands, intimate partners or someone they know.”– Ban Ki-moon.
Check out the blog I co-wrote with Rose Berger over at God's Politics: "Uniting to Eliminate Violence against Women."

Thanksgiving Immigration Update
On Immigration (courtesy of Immigration Impact):
- Lou Dobbs, fresh off the heels of his CNN departure and perhaps looking to prime an important constituency, tries to soften his anti-immigrant tone to curry favor with the Hispanic population, and is confronted by Telemundo's María Celeste.
Honestly, I find it a little hard to believe that he's "Latinos' greatest friend," when only a few years ago he falsely accused undocumented immigrants of bringing leprosy to the U.S.
- Republican Senators try to frame the immigration debate their own way ... by making stuff up--sorry, is that too harsh?

Links of the Day, November 25
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
- Eugene Cho blogs; warning: some disturbing images.
News
- The first state dinner: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
- Google refuses to take down a racist image of Michelle Obama from its search results. I find it interesting that we (in the US) often defend freedom of speech even when it rolls into abuse/misuse of this freedom.
- On Deadly Viper: An open letter from Sojourners to Zondervan.
