passing it along

If you have a little spare time or a little extra cash, here are a few folk who could use it.

*

Via numerous people on my flist: [livejournal.com profile] waywardradish does heroic work in educating others, finding survivors, and raising awareness of the child torture known as Attachment Therapy. The blog [livejournal.com profile] waywardradish hosts on wordpress.com has been suspended due to pressure from the supposed 'therapists' she's fighting against. There's more detail here.

You can email WordPress to protest their attempt to shut down someone who wants to get the word out there about the horrors that are happening to children by emailing tosreports@wordpress.com.

[livejournal.com profile] copperbadge has suggested wording - I strongly protest your continued interference with the Wordpress journal childtorture.wordpress.com. It is a vital and invaluable resource for holding therapy survivors. The documentation it presents includes firsthand experiences, eyewitness accounts, and news, medical, and legal documents available to the public.

In suspending and/or removing this journal you are doing both the community and your own public image a severe disservice.

Holding therapy is abusive and lethal and aimed at children, who have no voice. Please give abuse survivors back their voice.


A Search For Survivors is currently available here.

[personal profile] synecdochic is passing the hat for a friend in need. Whether you have any money to spare or not, the rapidity with which funds are being raised and everyone's comments and support are really heartening.

Lastly, it is [livejournal.com profile] virginia_bell's birthday today, and for the occasion she is raising funds for a cause very dear to her heart, a student-run NGO that teaches in rural China. There's more information here, and I know it would mean a lot to her.

I have e-mailed, donated my spare paypal cash and spread the word!

These are some of the things that I really think the internet is amazing for.
