The Harry Potter Alliance has just announced
their newest campaign, Civilian Protection. While their recent campaigns have been directed at one topic in particular, Civilian Protection is an effort to help mankind in numerous ways, such as ending the atrocities in Darfur and Burma.
This December 3, we ask that you give up a luxury item and with the money you save, donate it here
. All proceeds from this page will go toward saving and improving lives by protecting the "Lily Potters" of Darfur and the "Potterwatch" of Burma. Just ten dollars can go along way to protecting a whole family in Burma as a woman in Darfur. And think what you can do if you organize friends and family and members of your school and community to raise too! Think about the opportunity you and I have to make such a difference!
This is a great opportunity to help out your fellow human beings, just as the wizarding world banded together to defeat Lord Voldemort, let us stand together and say NO to the atrocities in Darfur and Burma.

That's an amazing initiative. :)
By the way, the HPA is planning to give their website a very "Hogwarts-like" feel but need a lot of funds for the entire process. That's why they've applied for a grant. Please register with the HPA and then rate their proposal. Ratings do matter.

Intesting concept. I wonder how much they really have raised and how much work they can do. The number of fans is large. I wonder if JKR is involved in any way?

What an amazing way to help those who are living under the same circumstances that the "mudbloods" did in the books.
It's an awful thing to realize that this is actually happening for real in this civilized world, but it does.
We must all stand together in helping to stamp out the "Voldemorts" of the world.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

OK...what constitutes a luxury item? Gas to get to work, food for my table, clothes for my children? In today's US who has an extra two nickles to rub together let alone buy luxury items...I'm sorry I've never had a StarBucks coffee, etc. Luxury to me is being able to pay my bills and not loose my house or car to reposession. I will think of those in need all over the world during my daily prayers.
