a story about the US's foiled attempts at amending the Beijing+10 document at the UN conference i was supposed to go to last week. the US stood completely alone in proposing two amendments -- one that would clarify that the document did not explicitly support abortion rights, and that the document "did not create new rights", according to the associated press, the document was eventually passed unanimously, without these amendments; the US caved.
it's kind of cool that something my class was invited to got (at least a little bit of) press coverage. it sort of feels like i'm actually close to power, however limited that power might be.
