Mourning Marla, Organizing to keep her Flame Alive

CIVIC Worldwide
I heard the news this weekend. Marla Ruzika, the courageous woman who took it upon herself to meet one on one with victims of the war in Iraq and hold them and say we are sorry and get them money to help rebuild their lives...she is gone. I will never forget the time I spent with her, the house parties we did together and working on her website, and I will never stop organizing to help create change in this world. Like many other warrior women before her, she was a beacon of light. She will not be forgotten. May she rest in peace.

Some of us give money, some of us give time, but Marla gave the ultimate sacrifice. I hope we can each give a little more in her memory because she gave so much while she was alive that it will take everyone giving a little more to make up for her loss. When will the violence end?
