09/18/2001 Entry: "Tax Refund Donations"

I had originally meant to donate my $300 tax refund to causes the current administration was stomping upon. The recent attack has reminded me I was going to do this. Here's who I ended up donating to. I ended up not giving to any environmental groups, but I'm more worried about vigillantes and domestic terror now. I did this through the Cisco philantrophy site, so they're matching the funds. I suggest others donate their tax refunds, and if possibile get their corporate masters to ante up as well.

Red Cross: 50%
General disaster relief

National Council on US-Arab Relations: 15%
Southern Poverty Law Center: 12%
For their work on supporting tolerance.

People for the American Way: 12%
Support for civil liberties and for keeping a watch on Religious Right.

National Abortion and Reproductive Rights League: 12%
Based on Jerry Falwell's recent comments blaming of the attack on feminists, lesbians, etc, as well as recent stories posted here.
