Fan activism? —It doesn’t get any cooler than that!
The Harry Potter Alliance’s annual Equality for the Win fundraiser is now underway!
The HPA is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of fan activism to work for causes
including economic, educational, and LGBTQ equality! The HPA relies on fans—Harry Potter
fans, Nerdfighters, Whovians, Browncoats, and supporters from all 12 Districts alike—to
decrease worldsuck! In the past year the HPA has accomplished some totally badass
things such as raising over 50,000 books for underprivileged readers through their
Accio Books campaign, raising awareness about economic inequality through their Odds
in Our Favor campaign, and establishing the Granger Grant for Excellence in Community
Organizing which awards $5,000 annually to 8 different HPA chapters to help improve
their communities! Check the 2014 Equality For the Win campaign at EqualityFTW.org!
