Signal boosts of various kinds
Mar. 17th, 2012 11:14 amGot a bunch of things to plug here, all of which fight the current war on women/queers/pocs/the environment, etc. on different levels. They need volunteers and money and whatever other support you can give. As Kickstarter has amply demonstrated, a lot of little donations go a long way.
Planned Parenthood - the Midwest regional (MN, SD, ND) is planning a huge solidarity counter-rally for Good Friday (April 6th), when they get bombarded with anti-choice protesters. Can't make it? Pledge a Protestor. The bigger the protest, the more money for women's healthcare.
All Out - an awesome international LGBTQ organization that conducts social media campaigns and fundraisers to fight homophobia all over the globe.
Fund for the Feminist Majority - fighting the good fight for women's rights globally for 25 years. One of the organizations behind the push to get women's contraceptive care covered by insurance that has the Right in such a rage.
MN United for All Families - fighting the MN marriage amendment, now on the ballot for 11/12. They're raising money for matching funds between now and 3/25, as well as looking for volunteers.
The Center for Biological Diversity is one of 11 environmental organizations being sued by Shell Oil because they've been too effective in blocking offshore drilling in the Arctic. They're fundraising for their legal defense.
Librotraficante - Book caravan bringing banned books to Tuscon, AZ. The banned books list includes books by Sandra Cisneros, Gloria Anzaldua, Howard Zinn, Jane Yolen, Paolo Freire, Laura Esquieval and WIlliam Shakespeare.
Speaking of Kickstarter, reviewer/editor Michael Jones is raising money to put out the gender-bending fantasy anthology Scheherazade's Facade: Fantastical Tales of Gender Bending, Cross-Dressing, and Transformation.SF and F needs more of these.
And on the more mainstream end of things, I support these two organizations because they're proactive and do some good work - Emily's List, which provides money and assistance to pro-choice Democratic women running for public office as well as organizing women voters (disproportionately impacted by voter ids laws, BTW) and MoveOn.org, which works for equality for all and a healthier environment for everyone.
Thanks for whatever you can do!
