If you would look to the right of your screen, you shall see a poll about deaths caused by the Ministry of Magic and/or Death Eaters.
The poll is not there because I wish to be insensitive or sensationalise the issue. It is there so we can help others face the fact that horrible atrocities are occurring.
Aoife gave me the idea. She said. Not to be morbid, but maybe we should create a poll of how many Rebellion members/sympathizers have lost family during this struggle. I believe the numbers would be high. If we could publish accurate figures, I think they could change the minds of a lot of people who believe there's nothing wrong and/or sympathize with the Ministry. At the very least, maybe they'd start to question the Ministry's actions. It's one thing to say you hate muggle-borns or blood-traitors, but it's another thing to look those deaths squarely in the face.
If you could take the time to answer the poll, I would deeply appreciate it. In the meantime, I send out my condolences to those who have lost loved ones. For those of us who are fortunate to have not lost anyone, I hope it stays that way.

RebellionWrock
Will any of you be attending the concert? I doubt I'm going to be there.
So...this is what happened with my family yesterday.
My dad keeps up with all the wizarding newspapers and propaganda rags as well. He read about the concert and told my sister. She was so excited because she thought my dad was saying we were all going back to the UK to see the concert. She thought it would be a chance to see her friends. She was very upset when she found out the concert was online, because she thinks the internet is ridiculous.
My sister was crying, and she was all angry. Dad tried to comfort her. We both tried to explain how dangerous England is right now. It's not that she doesn't know; she's not completely ignorant. I think she's just kind of in denial.
Anyway, finally we convinced her to give the online concert a chance. She calmed down a bit. We all planned to do the concert. Then my mum came in and said no....we're not. She thinks the rebellion has fallen, and that the rebellion we're seeing is really made up of death eaters. Dad laughed at that and my sister rolled her eyes. My mum's response? Remember the Defence Against Dark Arts professor in your fourth year?!
None of us had a good argument against that. Personally, I think the rebellion is the real rebellion. I don't think they've been taken over by Death Eaters. I'm not sure how to convince my mum about that.

Biographies
If any of you have free time from your rebellion activities, I was thinking it might be nice for us to share some of our stories. I'd like us to get to know each other.
As I said in my last post, I don't know who is reading this, so be careful about what information you provide. It's probably best to omit real names and hiding locations.
I plan on sharing my story later, but for now....I have stuff I need to do. Uh...no, it's sadly not rebellion activities. I promised my mum I'd help her clean the cabin.

We Shall Not Be Silenced
I wanted to create a place where we could talk to each other.
Does anyone have anything to say?
It's sad that we didn't get enough post-it notes out there. But I'd say we definitely tried hard. I give us credit for that.
Please Note: If you are one of the Ministry's undesirables....especially if you're in the top 100, please do not use your real name when commenting. I can't guarantee that Ministry officials will not see this page. Please protect yourself and don't flaunt your identity.
