Brave Pussy Riot Participants Say Anybody Can Join Cause---The Work Of Freedom Is Up To Each Of Us

Here is a link to the February 4 Stephen Colbert interview with two women who have been part of Pussy Riot.

The two Russians Colbert interviewed-- Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina--were as brave and hopeful a crew as I've seen.

I believe them when they say they are not afraid of going back to jail. 

When asked how many people were in Pussy Riot, they said anybody could join. 

That really says it all. We can all join from the outside of established power and help lead the way.

This article from the New Yorker adds some perspective. 

Everyday is the right day for resistance.  

Global Voices is a great website of everyday people bravely  taking on repressive governments.
