June is Bloggers Against Torture Month

You may have noticed a new graphic link in the left sidebar of this blog--one that reads "This Blog is Anti Torture". I first spotted the button at My Left Wing, and realized that I definitely wanted a button like that for this blog. When I clicked to learn more, I found out that June is Torture Awareness Month. I went to this link to sign up Howard-Empowered People to take part in Torture Awareness Month...

All you need to do to join is (1) promise to do a blog post about torture in the month of June, (2) link to Torture Awareness Month somewhere your blog. Do both of these things, and we will link to you from our blogrolls.

Well, as you can see, I've done the "add a link" part, and it seems plausible that before this month is over I will find the time and inspiration to write up a suitable blog post on the subject. But while my own muse is either napping or otherwise occupied, I welcome and encourage the submission of guest blogs on the topic. If you write something up and would like it posted here, you can e-mail it to howardempowered at gmail.com.

As shared in the comments by Cyberotter, there are posts for Day 1 and Day 2 up at Donkephant. Please feel free to pass along other good commentary you've seen in the comments below.
