STAND Fast
It’s hard to believe that the day has arrived but indeed, it has. STAND Fast. A day when people all over the world will be giving up luxury items and donating the money they saved. For HP fans, please give it here. Three dollars will protect one Darfuri woman from being raped for a month. Five dollars will protect a whole family in Eastern Burma. What better way to celebrate Beedle the Bard coming out tomorrow than by participating an event as part of a Dumbledore’s Army for the real world?! For questions please email standfast@thehpalliance.org
One of the things I said at the live Dumbledore’s Army meeting last night, is that oftentimes it feels like a huge barrier separates us and those who are most vulnerable. Let’s treat such a barrier as if it were no more than the barrier at Platform Nine and Three Quarters when Wizards tread before it. Let’s walk through that barrier and connect with people across the world who need our support. People who need to know that their plight is being witnessed. And that we will fight for them.
Let us send our love through this barrier today and fund the protection of these people’s lives. Please give today at thehpalliance.org/civilianprotection
Also, if you buy a copy of the Wizard Rock comp Jingle Spells today all the proceeds are going to STAND Fast.

Thank you so deeply. Let’s renew our spirits and the spirit of this world. Let’s do what we can for STAND Fast. Thank you and may the Fawkes Be With You,
Andrew
