Progressive Victory: Blogger of the Month

Each month the DC-based Progressive Victory - a consulting firm that "helps leaders, organizations, and coalitions achieve their goals by providing strategic guidance and proven tools" - chooses a progressive artist, a progressive author and a progressive blogger to highlight on their website. I have been chosen as the "Blogger of the Month" for October and I am honored by the recognition.

President Hans Johnson writes:

"[Andres] Duque shines a light on issues that generally don’t receive a lot of attention in the mainstream press. He has written about Hugo Chavez’s record on LGBT rights, gay pride parades in Cuba and the Dominican Republic, and has extensively covered the murder of Angie Zapata, an 18 year-old transgender teenager in Colorado."

Other bloggers who have been recognized in the past few months include:

• Mara Kiesling who blogs at T-Equality
• Robert Reich who appropriately blogs at Robert Reich's Blog
• Earl Ofari Hutchinson who blogs at The Hutchison Political Report
• Lane Hudson who blogs at News for the Left
• Richard Hasen who blogs at Election Law Blog
• Adele Stan who blogs at AddieStan

and community blogs

• Facing South (blog here)
• Tennessee Guerilla Women (blog here)
• and Blue Latinos (blog currently under maintenance but link can be found here)

Pretty good company, I must say.
