Let’s blog Yoani to BlogHer

I just spoke to Yoanni and she’s ready to submit her request for the “Carta Blanca” (White Card) to the office of immigration at the Ministry of Interiors. Yoani has been awarded the International BlogHer Activist Award and part of the award entails to join thousands of her fellow bloggers in St. Diego this Summer at BlogHer’11. There’s only one problem: The very same blog that has granted Yoani so many awards (Premios Ortega y Gasette in 2008, New York Times Top 25 blogs in 2009, Premio Principe Claud in 2010, the International Women of Courage Award from the U.S. Department of State in 2011) is also the blog that is keeping Yoani a captive of a government that considers her “a criminal” for the writing her own opinion. I guess that makes us all criminals. Me for sure! http://ping.fm/28DOB
