“Women In Action” Series Celebrating Women’s History Month
For immediate release
February 19 2009; presented by Women Without Borders US. Los Angeles, Ca, February 19, 2009-This spring, Los Angeles acclaimed artist and illustrator Bobbi Miller-Moro will be presenting “Women In Action” series in her Unity In Art Collection 2009.
Celebrating Women’s History Month, March 2009, and International Women’s Day March 8, 2009; this captivating series includes photographs of women from around the world.
The purpose of this calendar is to bring to light the beauty of all women, from many countries. Much attention is brought to the suffering, or distress of women in war-torn parts of the world and in refugee camps. Although it is important, what is true is that these women are ‘women first’ before a refugee, before a victim of war.
They hold themselves with beauty and light in the midst of circumstances many do not even understand. In the midst of these photographs are exquisite women that are not distressed, but protesting, using their voice in action, or just being. These women are at the forefront, the front lines of bringing peace and human rights for all people, especially women, or they are just living in their natural state.
Quotes from powerful women; such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Ann Frank, Maya Angelou, Mother Teresa and more, grace the colorful pages of each month of real textured cloth, vibrant mosaics, tile, reeds, and rich fabrics from all corners of the planet. Images of these women keep reminding us of how important women are to all of us.
About Unity In Art
Unity In Art is the latest collection from Bobbi Miller-Moro bringing together the images and expression of being united by love, beauty, light or creating. Her belief is all people can benefit from art, and explore beautiful images together as one with the ultimate message of peace.
About Women Without Borders US
Women Without Borders US is a online resource and connection for all things pertaining to women and mothers. From social and world issues, Human rights watch, victories and support for women. Bobbi highlights powerful women making a difference in the world, and makes available a majority of the world rights and peace organization for supporting women and children.

Facebook censors Cuban activist Luis Moro from speaking for The Travel Ban by deleting his account.
As I post this, I was also sent a warning letter that I will be next.
---
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Release– Feb 10, 2009 – We believe that filmmaker-activist Luis Moro, administrator for ‘End the US Trade Embargo on Cuba’ group was censored by Facebook for giving information out, or supplying information in detail about how people can help to pass the bill to allow travel between the United States and Cuba by deleting his account without warning.
Los Angeles, Feb 10 / Moro Films LLC has released a statement to the press about what Luis Moro believes is a direct infringement in his right to free speech and censorship by Facebook. Luis Moro was networking and socializing on Facebook, abiding by all of their Terms and Conditions. On Feb 09, 2009 at 9:30 pm Luis Moro was on Facebook speaking about the Travel bill, when his account was abruptly deleted with no notice or warning. He was one of the administrators of ‘End the US Trade Embargo on
Luis and his wife, Bobbi Miller-Moro immediately wrote to Facebook at info@Facebook.com and requested an explanation and to return Luis’ page immediately. Not only was he using Facebook to network, but to socialize with hundreds of his friends. He had more than 700 ‘friends’ and growing, from fans of his films, and his ex-Rutgers footballer friends and childhood friends. If he ever met his quota in adding friends in a day, Facebook would send a warning to stop, and he would. Other than that, there was no illegal activity or scandalous behavior that would warrant such actions from Facebook.
Cuban born Luis Moro made a film in Cuba and since then has been a visible outspoken voice against the Embargo on Cuba and has provided detailed information and request a call to action from pro-‘free Cuba’ supporters in his sitehttp://www.EverythingCuba.com. Moro is accustomed to this controversy being that his stand against the embargo has been a heated topic for many pro-embargo hardliners.
Facebook has deleted many accounts with no explanation as to why. They monitor how many friends you have and whether they are ‘real’ or not. They left an anti-Islam site up after hundreds of thousands of protests from Facebook users. Afro Cuban Luis Moro never once said a hateful remark, but only promotes peace.
“There is no freedom of speech on the Internet so long as the platforms for speech are provided by private companies dancing to the demands of the largest market.” –Jason Lee Miller WebProNews

Sir Ben Kingsley and Luis Moro Productions teaming up for new Wynadot Indian film.
Ben Kingsley’s SBK announces slate
U.K.-based production co. readies six projects
Ben Kingsley’s fledgling U.K.-based production shingle SBK Pictures is ramping up its slate, putting five films and one made-for-TV miniseries into development.
Kingsley is attached to star in several of the projects, including the WWI drama “Jutland 1916,” based on the book by Peter Hart about the epic naval battle. Kingsley has committed to star as Admiral John Jellicoe. Nick Willing, who directed Kingsley in the 1999 NBC TV movie “Alice in Wonderland,” will adapt the screenplay.Kingsley, who recently attended the Abu Dhabi confab to raise coin for the slate, is also moving forward with the romantic fantasy “Duncan,” written by Barton Randall. Story centers on a woman who reconnects with her childhood toy, an elephant. Kingsley will voice the elephant. Emily Mortimer is in talks to star in “Cousin Bazilio,” a six-part miniseries set in Lisbon circa 1870 and written by Powell Jones and Zadoque Lopes. Willing will direct the pic, which Kingsley will produce.
These are the other three projects being developed for the bigscreen:
n ”Whispers Like Thunder,” written by Fuller “Trip” Brooks and Luis Moro, which chronicles the true story of three Native American sisters who fought a 65-year legal battle against the U.S. government to protect the Wyandot Indian sacred burial ground in Kansas. Kingsley will play Charles Curtis, the only part-Native American to serve as vice president of the U.S. Film will be co-produced with Luis Moro Prods.
n ”Quixote,” which focuses on the relationship between author Miguel de Cervantes and his creation, Don Quixote. Rusty Lemorande wrote the screenplay.
n ”I Know a Place,” a British comedy written by Randall, who also will direct.
SBK Pictures was formed in 2007 by Kingsley and his producing partners Simone Sheffield and Valerie Hoffman. The shingle also is producing “Will,” based on Christopher Rush’s novel of the same name, which depicts the deathbed meeting between William Shakespeare and his lawyer to hash out his last will and testament. Charles Wood is penning the screenplay.
Aside from SBK, Kingsley has several films in the can, including Martin Scorsese’s period drama “Shutter Island.”

LYDA CONLEY
1902 graduation from Kansas City College of Law. Since no man would represent the sisters against the U.S. Government, Lyda took it upon herself to prepare for legal action by mastering the law to defend the burial grounds.
FORT CONLEY
While Lyda fought her battle in the courts, her sister Helena, guarded the fort because of the intrusions. Helena wired the cemetery gates together and put up a sign:
“You Trespass at Your Own Peril.”
The sisters took up their vigil over the graves after learning the land was about to be sold. They built a 6 x 8 foot frame structure and placed a fence of iron spikes around it. Helena stood armed with their father’s double barreled shotgun, an axe and the American Flag. She used them without fear. Instantly, their new home became known as “Fort Conley.”
