Dangerous Ideas

I’m on the board of directors for the Pride Law Fund, a group that raises money to fund advocacy projects for LGBT groups.

Pride Law Fund promotes the legal rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community, and people living with HIV and AIDS, by funding legal services and projects and by sponsoring education and outreach. Pride Law Fund has been the fiscal agent for fledgling grass-roots, community based, non-profit organizations, assisted innovative academic programs, supported the development and distribution of legal and educational materials, and financed independent and documentary film projects to educate the public. Now in its twenty-sixth year, Pride Law Fund is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit, charitable organization.

The PLF is volunteer run (no paid staff) and raises money through fundraisers, like the Pride Law Fund Annual Golf Tournament which is taking place this year in Berkeley, CA, on September 30. If you’re in the area and want to support the organization (and like golf or think you might want to give it a shot), please think about coming to the event!

I recently received this mailing from RAWA and thought I’d share:

You can sponsor a child today and communicate with that child via email on regular basis. CharityHelp International and Afghan Women’s Mission has teamed with RAWA to bring low-cost commuication technology to each orphange and enable them to send messages including pictures to you via the internet. Sponsors can see where their money is being spent; orphans can see that someone cares about them and is interested in their well-being and future. Over time, we hope that you will develop a real realationship with your sponsored child. To sponsor a child now, please click on this link: www.charityhelp.org/rawa.
