So a little while ago I mentioned that I had come up with an idea - a Work for Charity Day. Details are here, for those who haven't seen them before, but the general idea is this:
Things are kind of scary and rough here (in the world in general and the US in particular) right now, and it bothers me that I can't do much to fix them. So on November 4th, I'm going to dedicate the day to charity, and I am going to donate my entire income for that day to a charity of my choice. I think it would be really incredible if other people would join me in doing this.
It's entirely voluntary - no one has to join. It's one day's work - if you're not working, you can donate 8 hours of your time. It's your choice of charity - I'm going to be donating to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas; if you decide to participate you can pick a charity that you find worthy.
But the more people that participate, the better. So if you do decide to join me, please let me know. And if you think this is a good idea, please spread the word. Tell your friends, link to this or the original post, share it any way you think makes sense. I've already got somewhere around a dozen people agreeing to play along, but I'm brave enough or arrogant enough or optimistic enough to think that this can be even bigger.
And thanks, y'all, for your help and good words. You make me believe we can make things better.
