I missed posting about this back when they desperately needed immediate donations to launch the online hotline, but it's never too late to jump on the charity bandwagon.
RAINN (the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) is an amazing organization that provides support to victims of sexual assault across the United States. They provide a variety of services and spearhead a number of programs to give that support, educate the public about sexual assault, and ensure justice whenever possible.
There are a few ways that you can help this organization:
1. Make a donation. It doesn't matter if it's only a dollar: every dollar helps.
2. Purchase RAINN gear in lieu of simply donating. Not only does your money go to the organization but you can even help advertise the organization to others! In the RAINN store, you can find a variety of t-shirts and accessories. Also, hey, a fan of Tori Amos? Buy her RAINN Benefit Calendar!
3. Volunteer your time. RAINN is responsible for several programs fighting to make America a safer place. You can help out with Get Carded, where wallet cards about the National Sexaul Assault Hotline are handed out on college campuses across the nation.
If, for some reason, you are unable to do any of the above at this time, just help spread the word. Tell your friends about RAINN: tell them that there's a service out there to help those who've been sexually assaulted and that they can get this help safely and anonymously. Post about it in your online blog, encouraging others to help in any way they can. Every positive action carries us forward.
