Thanks to those of you who supported the efforts to change police dept. policy regarding promoting officers with records of domestic violence. It was my honor to work with the women who put the pedal to the metal & wouldn't take No for an answer.

We are giving strength to communities far beyond Pgh., just got this email from cloudwriter, (author of the behindthebluewall blog), wanted to share it with you. The link to the article is:

"Hi Gloria -
...Pittsburgh women are THE model for getting things done. There's no community of women anywhere in the news that I've seen that even comes close. That shines on you well, but is a sad testament for the rest of us. I was amaze at the activism there. But others were too.

Standing ovation... Deon"
