FundraiserSnowdrop (anti-trafficking charity) Christmas donations
I received an email today from a small local charity who work in Sheffield (UK) supporting women and girls who are trafficking survivors and who live in the surrounding area. They’re organising a Christmas party for the women and children who use their services and are asking for donations to help with this, as well as to offer ongoing support to the women and girls they help.
You can buy a star to put on their virtual Christmas tree here:

Snowdrop are particularly close to my heart as they also focus on women and girls who are UK nationals who have been trafficked - a group that falls through the cracks in Britain as the Modern Slavery Act here is focused on travel from overseas and tends to ignore domestic victims.
I did, as well. They may be lost with the other captured American policy organizations, but I want them to know why they won't be getting support from me.
They won't switch back to defending women if women don't tell them we're angry at them for abandoning us.
I am shocked and horrified to see our women's organizations turn against us like this. This astroturf TRE lobby is a military-grade psy-up, just as analysts have been warning us. Liberal democracy is at war with the alt-right in cyberspace throughout the world, we just don't know it because we've never had a war like this before.
History books will be written about the part the TRE lobby played in this.
Done! "As a lifelong feminist activist, I am baffled at the absence of NOW when it comes to defending the civil rights, the human rights, of women and girls. We are oppressed on the basis of sex, not gender identity. A woman is not a feeling in a man's mind. It is the physical reality that every woman lives, every day. However "womanly" a man feels, however "girlish" he imagines himself to be, he is and will always be, a man. No amount of surgery and injected hormones will change that. Allowing men into women's sports, into women's prisons, into women's realms only works against us, while they take prizes, and receive validation and kudos for their "bravery". Poppycock. Time to speak out. Please help women and girls--we've hardly had the vote for 100 years, and sports for much less. Stand up for women's sex-based rights. "
I'm so pissed at NOW.
Everything women had to go through to launch organizations to defend our rights under patriarchy, and now that we've made them a powerhouse of our movement, they've just thrown us under the bus.
My state's chapter of NOW is pro-TQ and supporting gender identity protections.
They all are.
That's why we HAVE to tell them what women want from them.
They've been infiltrated and indoctrinated. If we don't speak up, they'll never know we are enraged.
Got it done. Tip: it might not accept "send" at first, so just leave the letter there, go do something else, come back later. Should work then.
Excellent!
