Valentines - At this morning's meeting, we made Valentines for Nestle and Hershey, urging them to switch to Fair Trade chocolate. This project is not organized by the HPA; it is organized by a group called Stop The Traffik. However, the whole Fair Trade chocolate issues ties right in with what we were doing in the Starvation Wages Horcrux a few months ago. If you would like to participate in this project on your own, you can check out the website here, http://stopthetraffik-news.org/D57-CQ8P-623B9PUAD/cr.aspx?b=32.
DHC - The Bullying Horcrux - The fourth Horcrux of the Deathly Hallows Campaign is the Bullying Horcrux. While many people are bullied for different reasons, the HPA is focusing on the LGBTQ community for this Horcrux. This Horcrux is also a House Cup. Here are the different tasks you can do to earn points for your House:
- Sign the Make It Better Oath, http://thehpalliance.org/action/campaigns/deathly-hallows/horcrux-4/make-it-better/.

Wrock 4 Equality 2 is a campaign for marriage equality in Rhode Island. (The 2 is because the HPA had a campaign called Wrock 4 Equality in 2009 where we campaigned for marriage equality in Maine.) This will be taking place on February 26th and will be completely online. For more info on this and on everything related to the Bullying Horcrux, please visit http://bit.ly/horcrux4.
