Let's stand shoulder to shoulder as a community in support of survivors of domestic violence. Raise a loud and clear voice that San Francisco is a safe place to reach out for and receive help. We have about $2,860 to go. Please help fund the 3rd billboard in Tagalog "Domestic Violence is NEVER a private matter" (mock-up below). Your $10, $25, $50, $75 or $100 will go a long way to reassure all victims and witnesses of domestic violence that they can and should feel safe to report abuse. We raised $900+ in 2 days so please contribute what you can. We hope you can support this very important and urgent cause. CLICK to contribute or go to www.loudsauce.com/campaigns/82. Through a San Francisco-based startup called LoudSauce, FWN turned to the internet - to YOU - and to "crowdfunding" to raise money for the billboard. SPREAD the word about this campaign - Facebook your friends, Twitter this message, forward this Email to your friends. Take a stand and help your Filipina / Asian sisters and FWN install this billboard. ======== CALLING all allies - CA Domestic Worker Campaign Conference Call 7/25 @ 9am The Domestic Worker Movement is so close to VICTORY and WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to win Dignity & Respect for Domestic Workers!

You've all heard it before: Food is something that really brings us together. Being Filipina American, I often crave for the homey Filipino dishes you can't buy in the nearest restaurant. Having been on the road a lot, I've had to start making these dishes on my own, often improvising with the ingredients available. I've come to make a list of these Filipino comfort foods and I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to do so. I stumbled upon an article on-line with an awesome recipe for turkey paksiw. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did....
