Help Women, Please. Thanks!

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time at all, you know that I love BlogHer, and that I am a feminist. You don't have to be a feminist to love BlogHer. You don't have to identify as a liberal or progressive. You don't even have to be a woman.

So when BlogHer created BlogHers Act, a project to harness the power of women online to make the world a better place, was it difficult to find a project that everyone could agree on?

Um, no. There are plenty of ways to help out in the world that everyone can agree on as A Good Thing. BlogHers Act has assembled nine of them.

So, care to join me in saving women's lives by improving maternal health? As BlogHer Denise pointed out this week in her post There's Still More Work To Do, "The women and children and families of Afghanistan, Africa, Burkina Faso, Burma, China, Darfur, and Nepal still need our help."

We're giving part of our "economic stimulus" check to our local food bank to help repair some of the damage done to our local community by national policies (past and present), and some of it will go to this to help repair some of the international damage (again, past and present). Those are our motivations, they don't have to be yours. Not everyone can afford to spare some of that unexpected cash, but if you can, won't you join us?

Peace, everyone.
