Thank you, wonderful patrons!

I have matched your pledges and donated to the NAACP for September pledges.

So far this year, your pledges have enabled me to donate $275, including matching, to the following organizations working on social justice, civil rights, feminist and environmental issues:

NAACP

Southern Poverty Law Center

Ultaviolet

Center for Biological Diversity

Planned Parenthood

NCLR

Rainbow Railroad

Next up:

ADAPT - disability rights and healthcare direct action

Nature Conservancy Caribbean Projects - restoring habitat and biodiversity

National Center for Transgender Equality - social justice advocacy for transgender people

For folks thinking about signing up, to date, I've posted 4 short stories, 3 essays and 14 resource lists on topics ranging from socially responsible investing to my favorite comfort books, TV and films. $1 gets you 2 resource lists, $3 gives you the opportunity to suggest topics and $6 gets you all of the above, plus an additional essay or story.
