My mind has already been drawn toward Christmas (or is it Winterval, Pete?) and I like many others will soon be sending cards to those I care about and cards to others for reasons Im not sure of.
This year I intend to support an additional initiative by Amnesty and add a few names of:
prisoners of conscience, people under sentence of death, human rights defenders under threat because of their work, and others at risk.
to my list
Details are available on the Amnesty, British section, website. I cant see it on Amnesty Ireland but they are promoting a Carols for Freedom event in Dublin.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
