Think of us as your charity-of-the-month club
Jessica and I are excited to announce our three new Charitocracy board members for 2017!
We thank Dave, Melia, and Mike for their priceless feedback even before joining the board, and look forward to their continued guidance in the year ahead. Boardom has never been so fun. Well, unless you count when the boardroom was our bedroom. But I guess Charitocracy is becoming all respectable now!
Next in our series of posts about Charitocracy nominees, we have the American Civil Liberties Union nominated by donor TdotWING.
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.
Whether it’s achieving full equality for LGBT people, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age of widespread government surveillance, ending mass incarceration, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.
With more than 2 million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., to safeguard everyone’s rights.

Firstly, for newcomers: here's how it works. Donors pool their monthly contributions, as little as $1. The cause with the most votes each month wins the pot. No matter how much or how little you contribute, each donor at Charitocracy gets one vote. This is where charity meets democracy. So please share this post (see social sharing icons at top of post) and ask your friends to join us and vote! That's how we spread the word and, as a result, grow the monthly pot. The bigger the pot, the bigger our positive impact on the world!
Next in our series of posts about Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee Southern Hope Animal Rescue & Education nominated by donor Lita. They are an animal rescue that rehabs and rehomes unwanted and slaughter-bound equines while promoting horsemanship education. You can find their website here.
It's more than just an all species animal rescue. SHARE is a place where we learn, grow and have fun!
We not only offer many volunteer opportunities but we also have a riding lesson program, pony ride parties and professional horse boarding services to help fund our rescue costs.
We primarily assist local shelters with the placement of farm animals, dogs, cats and rabbits but are also known to accept owner surrendered animals of all kinds.
So please visit SHARE's page on Charitocracy to vote for, like, or discuss this cause!
