Pride 2012: The Struggle for Sexual and Gender Justice Continues
This summer, communities across the world will celebrate Pride Festivals
commemorating the birth and victories of the Gay and Trans Liberation
Movements. Despite the profound social change these movements have
accomplished since the first high-heels were thrown over the barricades
at Compton's Cafeteria and the Stonewall Inn, it is clear that the
struggle for queer, trans, and gender-variant liberation is far from
finished.
It is time to break the silence!
ArtLeaks is collective platform initiated by an international group of
artists, curators, art historians and intellectuals in response to the
abuse of their professional integrity and the open infraction of their
labor rights. In the art world, such abuses usually disappear, but some
events bring them into sharp focus and therefore deserve public
scrutiny. Only by drawing attention to concrete abuses can we
underscore the precarious condition of cultural workers and the
necessity for sustained protest against the appropriation of politically
engaged art, culture and theory by institutions embedded in a tight
mesh of capital and power.

Against torture in Egypt and inhuman treatment of Egyptians in their own country
"It's Khaled Said...
He is a 28 years old Egyptian who was tortured and killed by two policemen in the street where he lived in Alexandria, Egypt. Khaled's death further exposed the Egyptian police brutality and their systematic torture of Egyptians. Khaled died, but many Egyptians have become alive where his picture has now become the symbol of Egyptians' struggle for their rights and freedom."

Read'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this
right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to
seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and
regardless of frontiers.' -Article 19, United Nations Declaration of
Universal Human Rights
To whom it concerns,
Over the past years, we have borne witness to a technological
revolution. The individual has become free, in the most extreme
anarchistic sense, to share ideas. Some of these ideas are shared
behind proxies, darknets, or similar ?closed doors?. Nevertheless, the
ideas are out there. There have been similar instances of such
revolutions of the mind. Their effects on society are inestimably
great. As in past times with the invention of the printing press, so it
is today that the people embrace this revolution, this new ?anarchy? of
freedom to share, while their autocratic rulers seek to crush this
freedom.
"Dear friends,
Across the Middle East -- in Bahrain, Libya, Yemen, and more countries
every day -- autocratic regimes are trying to crush unprecedented
peaceful protests with brutality and blackouts. These countries are
poised on the brink between liberation and enormous bloodshed -- and
the protesters' ability to reach the eyes of the world could determine
the outcomes.
Avaaz is working urgently to "blackout-proof" the protests -- with
secure satellite modems and phones, tiny video cameras, and portable
radio transmitters, plus expert support teams on the ground -- to
enable activists to broadcast live video feeds even during internet and
phone blackouts and ensure the oxygen of international attention fuels
their courageous movements for change."
