Komen for the Cure founder Nancy Brinker goes from “deal with it” to “I’m sorry” in the space of 15 hours. Make up your mind, dude.
The internet wins again. I am so fucking sick of the “internet activism doesn’t do shit” crowd.
Even though this was strictly a PR move, it shows the power that the public voice has and how effectively the internet can be a means of making that voice heard. (which is probably another reason the government/big business is so hell bent on censoring it).
Doin’ stuff isn’t for chumps. It’s how things get changed.
She said, “I’m sorry we stopped funding planned parenthood” on twitter- that’s all. Susan G. Komen still refuses to reinstate funding for planned parenthood.
Daily Kos has more details about how the corporate media dutifully reported that Komen reinstated funding for Planned Parenthood, even though it’s completely and totally untrue.
SIGNAL BOOST. This fight is far from over. They’re pulling one over on us!
