To whom it may concern,

My name is [NAME] and I am from [COUNTRY/STATE/etc.] I am writing you to demand justice for 12-year-old Shukri Abdi who attended your school and who was drowned in a river by her classmates. According to evidence, there was foul play (bite marks on her body), and it was suggested that Shukri jumped into the river to “cool off” despite that fact that she could not swim and that her mother said “everything about it is out of character for her…she couldn’t swim so she wouldn’t go near the edge.” Furthermore, there was a witness that came forward. I am asking for justice to be served, and that the individuals responsible are held accountable. Shukri Abdi was killed due to your negligence and inability to keep her safe. It is important that justice prevails.

Sincerely,

[NAME]

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

NPR

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
