    Marla Razicka, Rachel Corrie, and Revolution of Heart
    by Elisa Salasin

    I knew little about Marla Ruzicka and her important work before yesterday, but her death -- much like that of Rachel Corrie in 2003 -- touched me deeply. I must note that my sadness does not only get called out by the deaths of young, white, female activists, but there is a certain sense of identification that I feel with these women. And, in their faces, I also see my three-year old daughter, Rosie. Or, perhaps more accurately, I see the kind of spirit, determination, courage, empathy, and love that I hope Rosie carries with her out into the world. I hope this for both my children, for all our children.

    Marla Ruzicka Lived, Died for Her Cause
    by John Nichols

    The global justice movement, at least in its current incarnation, is a young cause. Rooted in the anti-sweatshop campaigns of the 1990s and thrust onto the world stage by the Seattle anti-WTO protests of 1999, the movement remains overwhelmingly youthful in composition, leadership and spirit.
    As such, it has experienced few deaths of comrades - particularly among the legions of activists in the United States. Until now.
    Marla Ruzicka, the 28-year-old head of the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, which worked to aid civilian victims of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, was killed Saturday on the road from Baghdad to that city's airport when her car was apparently caught between a suicide car bomber and a U.S. military convoy.
