May Meeting Notes
Our May meeting was yesterday, and here is a summary of what was discussed:
Child Slavery Horcrux - The HPA launched the sixth Horcrux of the Deathly Hallows Campaign on May 1st. It is the Child Slavery Horcrux, and it is closely related to the first Horcrux we worked with, the Starvation Wages Horcrux (fair trade/chocolate). At the livestream that launched the Horcrux on the 1st, we watched "The Dark Side of Chocolate," which is a documentary about child trafficking in the chocolate industry. Something that HPA members are encouraged to do for this Horcrux is write CNN Freedom Project iReports.
Toemageddon - This is a project organized by the HPA that has to do with LGBT bullying. Basically, it became a big media story in the more conservative media outlets when a 5-year-old boy was photographed with his toes painted pink. His mother was accused of turning him gay by letting him wear this nail polish. With Toemageddon, we are compiling a petition against the LGBT bullying that happens in the media. However, instead of signing our names, we are painting our toes. To join in, go here - http://www.facebook.com/toemageddon
Knitting Projects - We are still working on our chapter knitting projects. We are knitting snuggles for the Snuggles Project (www.snugglesproject.org) and afghan squares for Warm Up America (www.warmupamerica.org).
June Meeting - Our June meeting will be Saturday June 11th.
