Pre-Blogathon Public Entry
On Saturday at 9:00 EST I start blogging 24 hours straight for Blogathon. This year I'm blogging about notable female characters on television with random women's equality issues and action alerts thrown in every few posts, to raise money for Equality Now.
If any one would like to sponsor me please feel free.
There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That’s me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That’s a great deal harder, and that’s Equality Now. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic human decency.

Equality Now was founded in 1992 to work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Working with national human rights organizations and individual activists, Equality Now documents violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support their efforts to stop these human rights abuses.
Through its Women’s Action Network of concerned groups and individuals around the world, Equality Now:
* distributes information about human rights violations
* takes action to protest these violations
* brings public attention to human rights violations against women
I'm also super grateful to anyone who'll keep me company here or on twitter during the blogathon.
