Take Action! Healing the World After Sep. 11
Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 23 years ago, in 2001, on the World Wide Web.
I ended on a very exhausted and somewhat depressing note yesterday. Nevertheless, here are some actions that you can take in order to work for making a difference in these troubled times.
- Contribute money to the American Red Cross for their disaster relief efforts, through Helping.org, PayPal, or Amazon.com
- Sign a statement mourning the loss of life and opposing warfare which will endanger or kill innocent civilians [SharedVoice]
- Remind lawmakers not to forget the vicious gender apartheid of the Taliban regime, and urge them not to forget that the women and other people of Afghanistan are the first and primary victims of the terrorist regime in Kabul. [FMF]
- Tell lawmakers not to "fight terrorism" by sacrificing our civil liberties [ACLU]
- Sign a petition denouncing the hateful, slanderous comments by Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell (who blamed the atrocity on feminists and LGBT people and secularists "making God mad")
