Hello, readers!
Today's regularly scheduled name content will be interrupted with political activism. (Well, mostly. There's some name stuff, too). If the terrible events of the day have you feeling depressed or defeated, try making a difference in your community. Here are some links to well-deserving causes!
If monetary donation doesn't work for you, click around the sites for ways to get involved. Sign petitions, boost awareness, or volunteer in person for causes that matter to you.
