The National Stonewall Democrats have a page for trans people + allies to donate to Barack Obama’s campaign, which is a damned cool idea. Before this campaign started, over 105 people donated $5400, which is damned cool too. But if we really want to make ourselves visible – even in a small way – we should try to get that number – and the amount of participants – higher. So if you’re trans, or a trans ally, & support Barack Obama financially, do consider donating to his campaign through the site.
& Then tell two friends, so they tell two friends… by the end of the day we can easily surpass a couple of people on ActBlue’s list of top online donors. Post the info on your personal blog – on Yahoo 360, or LJ, or Facebook, or to a community message boards you post on.
I’ve started a Trans for Obama event on Facebook, too.
I’m in. Of course I’m with Helen on this, but dammit I’m in.
I’m proud to be blogging shoulder to shoulder with ya on Trans-blog Day. In fact, I’d like doing anything shoulder to shoulder with you, Ms. Helen. Crossing my fingers for an amazing turnout. kiss kiss, Kate
Thanks for the Facebook event. I used that link to make a donation. Obama in 2008!
Oh, and I posted the donation site link on Twitter too, with comment.
i donated!
I just donated, too — I’m impressed that the thermometer immediately reflected it.
