If you have some change to spare, and want to support a great cause, the AWL is getting donations doubled for the rest of today - fundraising.awl.org.au/event/g

They do amazing work, and rely heavily on donations to keep going. Aside from donations, on their main website you can also directly purchase items for animals in their care; everything from food bowls and toys to toothbrushes they can use to comfort orphaned kittens with by simulating being groomed by their mother (and yes, that is as heartbreaking as it sounds).

Saturday 16 March 1963

Rejected lover John Edgecombe, who went after red-haired model Christine Keeler with a loaded gun, was jailed for seven years yesterday. And last night 21-year-old Miss Keeler, who should have been the prosecution’s main witness at the two-day Old Bailey trial, was still missing.

Maimonides

It is better to increase in gifts to the poor than to increase the size of the Purim feast or food portions sent to friends. For there is no greater and more splendid joy than to gladden the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the converts. One who gladdens the hearts of the downtrodden resembles the Divine Presence, which Isaiah (57:15) describes as always there "to revive the spirit of the lowly and the broken hearted."
(Mishneh Torah, Megillah and Chanukah 2:17)

"The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in this case could determine, for the first time, whether nonprofit organizations doing charity work motivated by religious belief must be exempted from paying unemployment taxes."

American Atheists · Atheists ask Court to Defend Workers’ First Amendment RightsWashington, D.C. — American Atheists, a national civil rights organization, filed an amicus brief today in Catholic Charities v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in this case could determine, for the first time, whether nonprofit organizations doing charity work motivated by religious belief must be exempted from paying unemployment taxes. In Wisconsin, the state labor commission denied an application for exemption submitted by Catholic Charities, whose activities were deemed “not religious.” The state Supreme Court agreed with that assessment, finding the organization “did not proselytize, did not conduct worship services, religious outreach, or religious education.” Catholic Charities contends that Wisconsin — and numerous other states with similar unemployment insurance programs — are violating its free exercise rights. The nonprofit is demanding that its employees be excluded from critical government benefits, like unemployment insurance protections, solely because they work for a faith-based organization. American Atheists, which advocates for the separation of church and state, disagrees. “Empathy knows no creed, and charities around the country employ millions of people who each have their own reasons for doing charitable work. Their rights must be protected,” said Geoffrey Blackwell, Legal Director for American Atheists. “For example, if the Supreme Court takes Catholic Charities side in this case, health care workers in places like Durango, Colorado, where the only hospital within two hours is run by a religious organization, would be denied government unemployment protections solely because the hospital where they work has religious reasons for providing health care. That is a situation no American should face.” In the amicus brief filed today, American Atheists maintains the Establishment Clause rightfully and forcefully prohibits the government from using its taxation powers to coerce professions of religious belief, and that Catholic Charities is, therefore, violating the First Amendment by seeking a tax exemption based solely on a profession of religious belief. “The legal theory Catholic Charities is presenting here echoes the very same violations that shocked American colonists and prompted them to ratify our First Amendment,” stated Blackwell. “The Supreme Court has repeatedly found that excluding people from government programs, like unemployment insurance, based on religion alone is unconstitutional.” “Nonprofit employees are public servants, and whether we’re religious or not, we are all motivated by a desire to make a positive impact on our communities,” said Nick Fish, President of American Atheists. “It’s unconscionable that an organization like Catholic Charities would try to deny their hardworking employees public benefits simply because it’s religious.” You can read American Atheists’ amicus brief here. A decision is expected from the U.S. Supreme Court by late June.

Sharing this clever little game from *2008*.

It was the 1st place winner from our very first game design challenge.

We posed this intriguing challenge:
❓ Can you create a game about teen dating violence without using any violence in the game itself?

We really did not know what to expect and were thrilled with the response. Our unique approach to violence prevention received media coverage -- even a mention in #Newsweek!

However, the game was created using #Flash and so it has not been available to play for years.

🎉 It has now been resurrected and we invite you to play it in your browser now - - right now.

It is a very short & quite quirky game (ideal for classroom play).

Plus, it's a helpful way to identify some warning signs of an abusive relationship.

The intention was to increase awareness about teen dating violence and provide guidance on how to seek help if it was needed. We think it works and we hope you agree.

Charities in the UK

It is about time that the UK sorted out the mess that are Charities. A local group raisign money for their school is a charity, a right wing extremist organisation based in Tufton St (which one is not I hear you ask) is 'a charity'. And as an example of abuse, the JNF is subsidised to provide support for the Israeli military.

It is feckin stupid - but no doubt it suits our Lords, Ladies and Masters.

Canary · Yet another UK charity has been caught funding Israel's militaryIn total, JNF UK transmitted £3,333,000 to ‘beneficiary organisations’ in Israel - but many of these had direct links to the military
