Help WoLF crowdfund our new Billboard - "Women are Female!"

Edited

I'll pitch in. Any reason why they chose NH specifically?

in downtown New Hampshire!

But... New Hampshire isn't a city? Does this mean downtown Nashua (inferred from 'an hour from Boston/Cambridge')?

I wish I knew! I don't. But if I were to guess, there is no way that sign would stay up in MA (and it would be super expensive). NH is slightly less expensive (for a billboard) and my sense is that it will stay up (and create the right amount of controversy).

I've asked to where it will go (if possible, I want to do a drive by :)

People make fun of me for being skeptical WoLF's motives, and then they do weird sketchy shit like this. "downtown New Hampshire" wtf?? And why is it on a Christian fundraising site????

It's because they keep getting banned on more secular platforms. GoFundMe has banned all GC content, and last time they used GiveButter and got banned.

idunno but I'm guessing Gofundme may be captured and would cancel "twansfobic" crowdfunders?

I give money to WoLF and wouldn’t mind supporting their billboard (although I also find the Christian fundraising site and “downtown New Hampshire” to be sketch). But I think TRAs have co-opted “female” as well as “women” so that this is not the most effective message.

I don't speak for WOLF, I'm just a person who wants to help. But (and this is just me being chatty), I'm kind of a utilitarian person. I don't mind pitching in a few dollars and seeing what happens. NH is more of a swing state. It's close to the hotbed of trans-activism (tons of MA workers live in NH and commute every day). Wherever they put that sign - it will be seen by many. There is no way it will go unnoticed.

So, it's worth it to me to see what happens. I'm sure it will attract some press and some protest. That's all I want. (Well, not all I want - but enough for me to think that it's worth it to chip in to help).

Everyone has to figure out their own path forward - and do something to stop what is happening.

I reposted this in activism (per the suggestion in the other thread).

I want it to succeed :)

I suggest not giving any money to "givesendgo", a Christian anti-choice organization. (A fraction of all donations goes to the host website.)

I wonder why a supposedly pro-woman organization would be feeding money to an organization like that?

Most other platforms have banned gc fundraising

ETA you can support WOLF directly through their website 👍

Reproductive rights is the #1 core requirement of "women's liberation".... kind of seems like any organization who wants to achieve "women's liberation" shouldn't give a single penny to anti-choice groups. It's not that hard to set up your own fundraising site.

If it's so easy, maybe you can offer to help them then.

Last time they tried to do a fundraising drive they got banned from the fundraising site they used. It is definitely slim pickings out there if you want to use something ready made to generate interest and activity on the fundraising side.
