April Lawson says she was inspired by the “Chiraq” movie after witnessing hundreds of black men camp out to buy shoes amidst Chicago’s worsening criminal violence.
She wants to recreate the premise of the film by challenging young women to refrain from giving their men sex until the violence ends.
I agree with her cause but do you think the sex strike will be affective?

Via Fortune– Various world leaders met this weekend at the G20 summit in Turkey. The two-day summit is generally a time to discuss economics, but as it convened just two days following the terrorist attacks in Paris, it became an opportunity to discuss the evolving global threat that is the Islamic State.
President Obama declared that he would increase efforts towards eradicating ISIS to prevent more attacks similar to the one that occurred in Paris on Friday, Reuters reports: “The United States and its allies will redouble efforts to find a peaceful solution in Syria and prevent Islamic State militants from perpetrating attacks like those in Paris.”
Reuters writes that U.S. officials are expecting France to up its involvement in the U.S.-led coalition’s bombing campaign against the Islamic State. Obama is taking this opportunity to attempt to encourage other European and Middle Eastern powers to do the same.
Russia began air strikes in Syria nearly two months ago, but has been aiding president Bashar al-Assad, whom Turkey and western allies do not support, by targeting his moderate Syrian opposition. Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, has urged Vladimir Putin to shift Russia’s military efforts to focus on ISIS.
According to a draft communique, as seen by Reuters, leaders at the summit are expected to agree that the migrant crisis is a global problem and they need to coordinate a way to tackle it.
The draft is due to be published on Monday, but has yet to be accepted by all the G20 leaders, specifically China, India, and Russia.
Via Guns.com– What started out as a seemingly typical Friday night at a Paris cafe quickly turned to unexplainable mayhem and the chilling, life-changing moments were captured on the cafe’s security cameras.
One of the terrorists responsible for the murder of 129 people and serious injuries of hundreds more, including about 100 of which are considered critical, was clearly seen in the video walking in front of the cafe, spraying bullets and randomly killing people.
But in addition to the sheer savagery of the shooter, the video also shows one woman who is extremely lucky to be alive after the terrorist’s rifle misfired as he held the gun to her head and attempted – unsuccessfully – to pull the trigger.
