While I was in Ecuador, I crossed the Río Tomebamba at least twice a day. The bridge I walked over is the city of Cuenca's memorial to victims of femicide. It was powerful to have the beauty of the river juxtaposed with the reality of gender based violence.

View of the Río Tomebamba in Cuenca, Ecuador from the Mariano Moreno Bridge. Its a sunny day with large fluffy clouds. Both banks of the river have trees and are very green. You can see the river bed on the left side, but the water is flowing on the right.

Photo of the plaque on the Mariano Moreno Bridge in Cuenca, Ecuador. The bridge is also named "Puente Vivas Nos Queremos" which translates to "We want ourselves to be alive". This phrase comes from the anti-femicide movement in Mexico. The plaque reads "La ciudad de Cuenca - En memoria de las mujeres cuyas vidas fueron truncadas por la violencia femicida - Les honramos con el compromiso de trabajar por una ciudad libre de todas las violencias, respetuosa de los derechos humanos - ¡Vivas las queremos! - Cuenca noviembre 25 de 2020"
The plaque is surrounded by the names of femicide victims in purple while the bridge itself is white.

The House Appropriations Committee moved forward a bill that will fund ACT for ALS at 85M, $10M more in ALS research at the NIH, and $3M more for the CDC’s ALS Registry at CDC. We are grateful for the increases in funds, but it is not enough. Take action: bit.ly/ALSFY-27

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

Eric Dane has passed away at 53 after a short battle with ALS He will be remembered by many as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, but he should also be remembered for his disability advocacy He worked tirelessly to raise awareness for ALS, including how hard it is to get a diagnosis.
