#Non profit

[1968bullittmustang]

I called but the calling script isn't really set up well for people like me with a republikkkan rep. Though to be fair, my rep was also an election denier, so I seriously doubt anything would convince him.

I'll call again if someone can develop a decent script for republikkkan reps. Does anyone know if this bill will affect churches, synagogues, mosques, etc?

HR 9495 is going back up for voting. All non-profit orgs are in danger.

The Committee on Rules is meeting at 1600 EST on 18 Nov 2024. The agenda includes HR 9495.

If this bill passes, the Secretary of the Treasury would have the power to strip any non-profit group of it's tax-exempt status with no due process.

If you are part of the fandom community and you are in America, please contact your reps and ask them to vote NO on HR 9495.

Hi. Sorry about this. I'm Spanish. As some people might know, Spain is currently going through a very destructive flash fall in the last few days. I'm lucky enough that my town hasn't been affected, but unfortunely it isn't so everywhere. At the time I'm writing this, over 150 bodies have been found, there's still people missing and there are entire towns destroyed or isolated with no electricity and roads, and a lot of people have no access to tap water or a way to cook food.

Hambre Cero is a food bank non-profit. It will be giving food to those who don't have access to it after the flash fall. Hambre Cero is currently also active in Lebanon and Palestine. If you guys can please donate or at least reblog to spread this, I'd really appreciate it.

Places to donate to help Palestine

PCRF.net - They did over a 100 medical missions in 2022 (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund)

Middle East Children's Alliance - A Non-profit organization fighting for the well-being and rights of Middle Eastern Children. They also have a link to a 'tool kit' to help spread information about the Gaza Genocide. I'm linking to it directly HERE

Anera: Where Hope Finds a Way - They provide everything from food, medicine and hygiene kits. $30 equals 16 blood bags - an essential thing for helping doctors help people survive horrible physical trauma.

UNICEF.org - Link to where you can donate to help UNICEF get aid to those suffering in Palestine.

And because I know damn well that lots of people don't have the extra funds to donate money - you can help by simply clicking here once a day. It donates ad revenue. Click to help Palestine

[I wanted so much to find other places people could donate that weren't in the US or Canada, but I was having problems figuring out how to ensure that they were reputable. If anyone knows of any, please reblog and add the links!]

And some basic informational sources for those who want to understand what's really going on other than the misleading information from the media.

BDS - The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians. Offers actual news about what's happening.

Decolonize Palestine - In depth information about the history and origins of Palestine. Also has a great 'debunked myths' section that lists almost all of all the lies the Media has been peddling.

Mondoweiss - An independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. (Be aware: Some articles show disturbing images of the horrors happening in Gaza.)

Petitions I found with reputable track records (there are a LOT of fakes out there)

Canada:

Independant Jewish Voices Canada - Gaza on the Brink Ceasefire Now! - Prewritten letter to Justin Trudeau and Mélanie Joly calling for an immediate ceasefire, and for an end to the collective punishment of Palestinians. Just sign your name and it sends a letter!

There are several other ways (Including email addresses to various people/companies, as well as physical addresses you can mail letters to) listed here.

DON'T send threats/hate mail. That does nothing but make them double down on their current stances. Be polite. You don't have to take a happy tone, but be polite.

United States:

USA - Tell Congress: Stop Fueling the Gaza Genocide - Demanding an immediate ceasefire and for Humanitarian Aid to be allowed into Gaza.

Jewish Voice for Peace - You can use their form for send a letter to Congress to demand that they should focus on de-escalation instead of sending money and weapons to Israel so they can continue their genocidal war against Palestinians.

Jewish Voice for Peace (part 2) - Fill out this form and inform President Biden that he should call for a ceasefire and stop supplying money and weapons to Israel.

Do your daily clicks!!!

Arab.org released their statistics for the first 3 months of this year

more than 900K people clicked during those 3 months. Those 3 months had 91 days in them, meaning nearly 11k people clicked a day, and it yielded 661 USD!! WHICH IS AMAZING!!!

Internet Archive Live Hearing happens tomorrow: March 20, 2023

Here's a link to the Internet Archive's page, describing how you can participate and listen to oral arguments on Monday March 20th at 1pm ET

You may know the Internet Archive because of the Wayback Machine!!

The court case Hachette v Internet Archive is being brought to court and threatens to tear down the Internet Archive as we know it.

"The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library, preserving and providing access to cultural artifacts of all kinds in electronic form. CDL allows people to check out digital copies of books for two weeks or less, and only permits patrons to check out as many copies as the Archive and its partner libraries physically own. That means that if the Archive and its partner libraries have only one copy of a book, then only one patron can borrow it at a time, just like any other library. Through CDL, the Internet Archive is helping to foster research and learning by helping its patrons access books and by keeping books in circulation when their publishers have lost interest in them."

This is so important because not only does the Internet Archive provide books that are long out of circulation and copies for people to borrow, they are also used as sources for things like Wikipedia articles! Imagine if suddenly, no one could access sources that someone cites for their information! Having access to information digitally today is a very important thing, and with all of the paywalls people face nowadays for news, imagine if you suddenly had to pay for access to any books. Websites like Amazon already are attempting to replace any sort of ebook rentals with paid services, when we have the right to borrow books online just as we do physically. The Internet Archive is extremely important and one of our rights- access to information- is actively being fought against.

REMEMBER: This will not JUST affect the internet archive. This could change how libraries in general work, and could threaten public access to information. Imagine how many youtube video essay sources would be null and void, imagine just trying to research an obscure topic at 3am-- If all of that was behind a paywall, only those with money would be able to access them! The harder it is for libraries to share books and archive information, the more the public suffers!

Please show your support! Read more about the case here: https://www.eff.org/cases/hachette-v-internet-archive

https://www.battleforlibraries.com/

I'm not sure how quick Tumblr will work on approving this blazed post but if the day/time has passed, please know that you can actively look into more information on this case and other info on the Internet Archive Blogs. You can also add your name to a list of supporters of Battle for Libraries Here.

Let's work together on making sure we have access to information! In this digital age, we deserve to access just as much online as we do offline!

Some statistics

Child Sex Trafficking has been reported in all 50 states

The most human trafficking cases have been reported in California, Texas and Florida.  Las Vegas is also a hot spot.

There are more than 365,000 missing children in the US each year. 30% of those missing are being trafficked (approximately 109,000 children).

The average age of a trafficked child is 15 years old.

You can be a part of the movement to put an end to child trafficking by donating to the cause. Every donation, no matter how small makes a difference!

Definitely not handing out feathers to the Mokke to assist in yet another assassination attempt upon poor Hanako. 🥰 I like helping them learn new stuff! Today, we learned Hanako is very feather sensitive, what fun!

Im gonna be inactive, so here's the graphics I used to custom make them, and the graphics don't belong to me. It was custom-made, and please don't forget to tag me when you use them and don't claim it as yours.

Always Credit Me and put anywhere as "for personal use only" strictly. If not, you can get in trouble since once again it was custom made for me and I personally don't own them and DO NOT RESELL.

Use a soft bind for this ^

You can not use a transparent background for this because the particles will lose. You need this factory custom made for the kinks.

I will be posting for the other graphics soon. As well for a screen accurate pillow, it will be custom made and the fabric pattern for the APC dress soon.
