It's that time of year again! When I encourage those of you who celebrate gift-giving holidays to curb your mindless consumerism and re-evaluate meaningful gifts by supporting worthwhile organizations (yes I am aware I am kind of a buzzkill).
Last year I talked about four organizations (ARCC, ACORN Canada, ACR and the Stephen Lewis Foundation) that you could donate to - on someone else's behalf or just out of the goodness of your heart - and I still encourage you to check those orgs out and give them some love. This year I have a few more suggestions, including actual things you can buy!
Most of the following are organizations/projects that I have been involved in OR that my friends and/or loved ones work or volunteer for. If you have other suggestions, please leave them in comments!
Donations
Occupy Toronto (or your local Occupy)
Things to Buy
Global Grassroots: Perspectives on International Organizing (Edited by Wade Rathke)
Feminism for Real: Deconstructing the academic industrial complex of feminism (Edited by Jessica Yee)
ACORN Canada 2012 calendars: contact your local office for information
A subscription to Bitch Magazine
Happy holidays!
