Rules of Engagement: Gender-Sensitivity in Society. Women continue to battle sexism . At a recent fundraiser President Obama stated that California Attorney General Kamala Harris was "brilliant," "dedicated," "tough," and "exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law" . He then refered to her as "by far the best-looking attorney general in the country". The president, criticized by many for his remarks about the Attorney General 's appearance, subsequently apologized. The incident became the subject of many discussions about the struggles of women to be accepted in society.

Granito is an expression of the indigenous people of Guatemala...none of us can do it alone, each must put in their granito, their tiny grain of sand. Direct descendants of the ancient Maya, the indigenous of Guatemala make up 40% of the population. With the help of the U.S. government, as many of 200,000 of them and their supporters, the future leaders of Guatemala, were masacred in the early 1980s. Documentary filmaker Pamela Yates witnessed the genocide and found she had her own granito, evidence to help nail a dictator.

The mission of the Montavilla Food Coop is "to enhance the quality of life for both residents and visitors by providing access to affordable, healthy food in an environment shaped by the community's values."
