Change.org's 2010 Holiday Gift Guide

Do you know where "Black Friday" got its name?
It refers both to retailers being "in the black" and the mass disruption, chaos, and in some years even deaths that have resulted from the buying stampede on the day after Thanksgiving.
Whether or not you sat this Black Friday out, we've got the cure for the holiday shopper disenchanted with the darker side of American materialism: gifts that advance social change.
Welcome to Change.org's 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. Across the Change.org network, we're featuring great gift ideas that advance the causes you and those close to you are passionate about.
While the holidays can be a time of excessive consumption, they can equally be a time to use our resources to do a lot of good.
For a sampling of gift ideas for positive change, see the list below. For the full Change.org 2010 Holiday Gift Guide, click here.

ACLU Important ANNOUNMENT!!! & IT GETS BETTER PROJECT!

ACLU of PA Announcement

A Parent’s Nightmare

A Parent’s Nightmare
Read more about Elizabeth and Alex's ordeal on our website.
Alex, Elizabeth and Isabella
Today Isabella is a happy and healthy six-month-old living with her parents.
New parents Elizabeth Mort and Alex Rodriguez thought the
most difficult thing facing them when they arrived home from the hospital with their newborn daughter Isabella would be the sleepless nights.

Instead, they were faced with the unthinkable – having their
three-day-old daughter taken from them for five days by Lawrence County Children and Youth services because of Elizabeth’s false positive drug test performed by the hospital where Isabella was born. Elizabeth, who was eventually cleared of illegal drug use, had eaten an “everything” bagel with poppy seeds two hours before being admitted to the hospital, causing the inaccurate test result.


“When Isabella was gone, our family was just at a loss of words,” said Elizabeth. “I couldn't stop crying. Alex just didn't even know how to be himself. It felt like our heart was ripped in pieces. The most important person was missing, and we didn't know when we would see her again.”

The ACLU of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit yesterday, October 28th, to stop this from happening to other new mothers in Lawrence County. Find out more about Elizabeth and Alex’s case on our website.

It Gets Better Project 
"Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide."
These were the words posted on Facebook by Clint McCance, a school board member in the Midland School District in Independence Country, Arkansas late last week.
Quickly upon learning of McCance's actions, we called on our project's nearly 100,000 Facebook supporters to petition him to resign immediately.  And just one day later, live on CNN, Mr. McCance bowed to the pressure.
Check out the segment here, then share your thoughts with us:
Clint McCance Talks with Anderson Cooper
Our project is about more than a collection of heartfelt videos, it's about creating awareness and calling out the Clint McCance's of the world and shining a light on their bigotry and hate.  
It's about making our schools and communities a safer place by inspiring students, teachers, parents and community members from all walks of life to come together to advocate for change all across the country.  And it's about holding people like Clint McCance -- people who are making things worse -- accountable.
It has been just over a month since our project began and we're seeing an impact, not just in Arkansas, but also in New Jersey where just last week lawmakers introduced an "anti-bullying bill of rights."  You've helped create an international issue out of something that was tragically ignored for far too long.
Stay tuned in the days ahead for more videos and many more opportunities to act in your area.

DESIGN a T-Shirt for ONE.Org it's all for good causes. ♥

Last week ONE asked people to submit designs for "ONE’s Next Top T-Shirt", and I must say, I'm impressed by some of the excellent designs I've seen. But I know that sometimes true greatness doesn't come easy. So to make sure all of you have time to create something fantastic, we're extending our submission deadline to Monday, October 25th at 12:00 PM ET. So what are you waiting for?
After Monday's deadline, we'll narrow down all of the submissions to the top three and ask ONE members to choose their favorite. The winning design will then be printed on 100% organic cotton, African-made shirts and promoted to our over 2 million members around the world. Pretty cool, huh?
We've accomplished some truly remarkable things this year. We helped cancel Haiti's long-standing debt after the devastating earthquake. We helped pass the Cardin-Lugar Transparency amendment and helped secure more essential funding for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Designing a shirt might seem like small potatoes compared to all of that, but when we wear our ONE shirts, we show the world in a very public way that we’re proud to stand together in the fight against extreme poverty – and we hope that they’ll ask questions about our shirts and join the cause, too.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
Good luck,
