10 years of Can't Stop The Serenity!

[nightshade]

This year marks the 10th year of the charity event Can't Stop The Serenity.

• WHAT IS CAN’T STOP THE SERENITY?
  Can’t Stop the Serenity (CSTS) is a unique opportunity to indulge your geeky side while doing some good! Since 2006, fans have organized screenings of Joss Whedon's Serenity to raise funds and awareness to support Equality Now in their work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Join us as we aim to misbehave for a good cause!
• There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That’s me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That’s a great deal harder, and that’s Equality Now. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic human decency.

Events take place all over the world between April and October, and often there will be ebay auctions to raise money as well.

I actually had no idea that this was even a thing. I'm incredibly glad that now I do.

 

[VisionGirl]

I wanted to plan one for my area, but I've been too busy.

It doesn't have to be a big event. There are also Affiliate events which could be a BBQ or friends over watching favourite episodes and passing a hat to raise some money, or just about anything. There are lots of ideas on the website.

I would love to do one of these in my area. 🙂
