A girl (Betrayed) has just joined ESMB who has recently left the SO. Something that helped her decide to leave and be with her family was the Sydney protestors outside the SO buiding in Glebe St. She remembers me being there shouting through the megaphone telling parents that their children deserved better, and it hit home. I was on chat with her last night on the forums and she is well-and-truly out for good and SOOOOOO unbelievably happy.
It's such a boost to know that we actually are doing something out there even if it sometimes seems that we aren't. The scene is ANZO is pretty much all going down the gurgler with people leaving and then speaking out.
