six (free) ways to support equality
admin on Mar 23rd 2007
A few days ago, we posted about six things that Family Pride can do for you right now. We know that this national conversation about family equality is a two-way street; our supporters actively participate in our work to shape what we all do. So, now that you know what we can do for you, today we’re going to highlight six easy things that you can do for the family equality movement that won’t cost a dime.
- Tell five friends about Family Pride (and we’ll even send you a free t-shirt). Family Pride is the national organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) parents, guardians and allies. Word of mouth is the best form of publicity. Use our simple form to tell five friends about us, and we’ll mail you a fabulous Family Pride t-shirt.
- Join our eNews. We send out a monthly eNewsletter with our very latest projects, information about the family equality movement and our upcoming events. Stay in the loop by signing up today.
Participate in our blog. It’s super easy to get our blog updates by email. Also, leave us comments on our posts - we encourage input, feedback and criticisms. In addition, we’ve created stylish family equality banners that you can add to your site or blog. And, if you have something to say, we’ve got a place for you to say it; we love expanding our voice to include posts by guest bloggers. Just let us know.- Translate one of our publications. We strive to make our publications as accessible as possible. We’d love to offer them in other languages - especially Spanish. If you’re up for the challenge, please let us know!
- Give us feedback for our new website. We’re in the brainstorming phase of creating a new website. Since our work is shaped by your wants and needs, let us know what you’d like to see. We’ve created a website brainstorming wiki. Add your ideas today!
- Tell your friends about the Kevin Bacon Challenge. Family Pride is in the final stretch of a great campaign that is harnessing the power of social networks to ignite social change. It’s a fun contest, and it directly supports the work of Family Pride. The most important thing you can do is mobilize your social networks of friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, coworkers, etc. to be a part of this exciting campaign. Learn about it here.
Of course, these are just a few of the many ways that our members participate in the movement for family equality. If you want some more ideas, or if we can support you in your participation, let us know! And feel free to comment with a few ideas of your own.
