They give impoverished, at-risk young girls a voice through acting and writing their own stories, as well as the opportunity to mentor with professional women. And sadly, east Austin is getting very yuppiesque, which pushes the really poor people further east of Austin, or up north in areas of Pflugerville and Round Rock. Here's the website for Grrrl Action, http://grrlaction.org. Another thing to check out is an ecumenical work day here in Austin coming up Dec. 6. The group is AustinOne and part of the larger One organizations, sponsored by Bono. Their website is http://www.austinone.org. I contributed last spring and worked on fixing up a safe house in North Austin. But, how they are set up is that they do several civic projects throughout the city for the poor on a given day, including playing with children. Julie:
