somewhereinbetweencomic: somewhereinbetweencomic: Here are donation likes for various organizations that are going need funding for the next four years.

The National Resources Defense Council (For environmental reform): https://www.nrdc.org The National Center for Lesbian Rights (Despite the name this organization lobbies for the rights of all LGBT people) : http://www.nclrights.org International Refugee Assistance Project (This is what it says on the tin): http://refugeerights.org The Southern Poverty Law Center (monitors hate crimes in the United states): https://donate.splcenter.org/sslpage.aspx?pid=463 Council for American Islamic Relations (you can donate or volunteer): https://www.cair.com/about-us/volunteer-with-us.html The Black Youth Project (fighting racial injustice, this is another volunteer/ donate opportunity): http://agendatobuildblackfutures.org Planned Parenthood (reproductive health care for women and trans people): https://secure.ppaction.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=93D82ED036B552A4724353C95D2023D2.app259b?df_id=12913&12913.donation=form1&s_src=Evergreen_c3_PPNonDirected_shorturl Moms Demand Action (This is for gun law reform and was found in response to Sand hook): https://momsdemandaction.org *Updated 12/20/2016: Adding the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Commitee combat anti-Semitism http://www.ajc.org/ and http://www.jdc.org *Update 12/22/2016: So after talking will some people who voiced concerns about the lack of Jewish representation in the art work as well as the in the initial text post, I’ve added new additions to the comic. I know that this won’t change the reblogs that have already happen but hopefully people will take the time to look at the original post. (just like the version with silent having two “L’s” will live on forever) I know when talking about representation on this broad of a scale not everyone can be explicitly mentioned. The reason I felt compled to make these alterations is because of the use of the nazi embalm, and the current rise of anti-semitism. I’d like to thank those who took the time to speak to me on this subject. There were conflicting opinions on how best to address this, as there always are, but I hope these revision will be seen as a positive step in acknowledging and combating anti-semitism. Thank you for your time. Please, please add more organizations to this list in reblogs. I know there have been a lot of statements and lists like this going around the internet and tumblr. And of coarse not everyone has the means. But where in it for the long haul with this one, so if you have the time or the means please give what you can, or encourage others to do so. FIND OUT JUST WHO THE HECK YOUR REP IN CONGRESS IS WITH THIS LINK: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members Calls work best, as someone has to answer, but hand written letters stand out as well. Please tell them about any or all of your concerns in a calm respectful manner. Congress elections are often pretty close and so calling can have an impact. I love you all. reblogging new version -- source link
