Get Ellen to Give
We’ve recently seen high-profile celebs such as Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg give 100k each to the No on 8 Campaign, which will protect marriage equality in California by defeating Proposition 8.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, No on 8 is a historic, winnable campaign that can propel the national LGBT movement forward. Its outcome will affect the lives of LGBT people across the nation. But the opposition is currently out-fundraising us at a rate of 3:2. To win, a national network of LGBT folks and allies must dig deep and give to this critical campaign.
But what about other wealthy folks? Namely the super wealthy queer folks who have more than enough cash to help some sisters out.
Ms. Ellen Degeneres is one such celeb, and while we’re happy she blogged about the initiative yesterday (in a slightly rambling way), we’re hoping she’ll do some talkin’ with dollars. That’s why some lovely friends of ours have launched a facebook group called Get Ellen to Give.
We hope in the next few days or weeks Ellen will show us some love but until then, show her you care and want her to help in ways us common folks can’t. Check out The Progressive Project for more information.
