We all want to become better people—especially during Christmastime. But we fall short when we descend into the numbness of consumer culture and gifts that show how much we spent instead of how much we care.
This holiday, the Intergalactic Business Report challenges you to make your presents ones that serve humanity. It’s easy to contribute yourself or on behalf of a friend or family member. We take pride in identifying good causes and below, we list our four favorite charities we feel need special help right now. Consider making a difference and donating to: The most overlooked charities you can contribute to this holiday. Streaker Relief Fund. What happens when you sneak onto the field of a professional sports game, take your clothes off, and run around to the delight of fans? Answer: you get tackled, cuffed, and roughly “escorted” off. For viewers like you, it seems like a gentle game of who’s that naked guy getting trucked by those dudes in yellow jackets, but, in reality, it’s a terrifying moment for the nude man who is simply trying to make his way around the field, court, or crowded mall. In a few seconds, his life can change as streakers are 1000% more likely than other humans to be injured while running without clothes on. The Streaker Relief Fund offers medical reimbursement, legal aid, and shelter to streakers who haven’t “made it” through the gauntlet of security guards, players, and tasers… because no one ever does. The Streaker Relief Fund also works to support legislation to make it legal for both registered and unregistered (spur of the moment) streakers to interrupt sports competitions by running around naked without the fear of being “taken down” by officials and security personnel. Instead, everyone will have to just sit there and watch till the streaker tires and leaves on his own accord. With your help, streakers everywhere can have a life where dignity and safety come first. For just $17 a month, you can sponsor your own streaker by providing him legal assistance, a private changing area, and medical coverage. Double Whopper Opportunity Project. Millions of people in the U.S. face a dilemma each day when they visit a Burger King restaurant—do they order a single or double Whopper? While this seems like an easy choice (one double Whopper, please), did you know that many Americans can only afford the single? The single whopper offers a mere 670 calories and if you stretch your budget to add cheese, you only get it up to around 760 calories. Compare that to a full double Whopper with cheese at 1040 calories and you start to see the gap between rich and poor. The estimated cost difference among Whoppers can be anywhere from $2.50 to a staggering four dollars more and to many, this is unaffordable. The Double Whopper Opportunity Project (DWOP) seeks to compel Burger King locations everywhere to upgrade single Whoppers to double Whoppers (with cheese) to anyone who orders one regardless of income, age, or if they say they only want a single Whopper with no cheese. Using a massive “Whopper Fund,” which starts with your donation, DWOP will directly pay Burger King to instill this new policy. With a mere 1.7 billion dollars, we feel we can accomplish this ambitious goal. But we need your help. Will you consider a gift of half your yearly income (for one year only!) to support people who need more from their sandwich? Whether you make $50K a year, or a million, every contribution has an impact. All we ask is half of what you make to make someone’s meal whole. Time’s running out, so donate to the DWOP, on the double! White Woman/Homeless Man Exchange Program. White women everywhere, but particularly in the suburbs of major cities, have a problem they can’t solve on their own—how to truly serve at-risk and in-need citizens in urban areas who don’t have homes and aren’t satisfied with the food and shelters provided them. The pain for white women is real. As they shop at Whole Foods and have lawn care people set up their Christmas lights, they feel a constant sense of dread as they watch MSNOW and only have the conviction to lowly mutter phrases like “you go girl” as they watch female “people of color” say things. In their hearts they know they can’t just give money, lecture neighbors, and say, “you go girl” and make a true difference in the lives of the underprivileged. They also don’t want to give away all their money and live in a box out of solidarity. The White Woman/Homeless Man Exchange Program offers suburban women the opportunity to feel like they gave all their money away and now live in a box by switching roles with a carefully chosen street person from the city. Here’s how it works: we rate your neighborhood by level of affluence and match you with a homeless man whose poverty is commensurate. We “trading places” you with this man and you must figure out a way to regain your spot in your own household, thus teaching you both a lesson in power dynamics, social disparity, and how houses smell when a man who refuses to take a shower and attempts to set your pets on fire lives there. We’re not asking for money—just your time. Your time spent living on the streets and fending for yourself as a person who could be mentally deranged and addicted to drugs changes spots with you for the foreseeable future. Contact us today to get matched to your homeless man so we can get YOU on the street and HIM in your house before Christmas. We Are All Flashers. Let’s be honest. We all have sexual proclivities, but some of us have ones that make us do them in public. While you may be into nasty stuff you’re embarrassed to share, there are some Americans who are unable to fulfill their sexual desires without exposing themselves in public. We Are All Flashers is a charity with a simple message: Everyone has sexual kinks so support people who do this one. For the most part, flashing is a victimless crime in which you get “flashed” by a guy who finds satisfaction in going to a park, for example, and showing his naked body to the public. Is that so different than the feet stuff you’re into? While some people do report trauma from flashing events, the vast majority of those who are flashed say it was either just “weird,” “disturbing,” or “a little scary.” And after the flashing is over, the flasher almost always runs away. We Are All Flashers works with communities to provide safe zones in which people who are basically O.K. with flashers understand that they are in an area in which flashing is accepted. For instance, a huge sign will be placed at the entrance to parks listing it as a “flasher zone” and that flashing is only permitted during certain hours, making it safe for flashers and flashed alike. This Holiday Season, open your heart so we can open our raincoats. Your dollars go directly to support local legislation to open “flasher zones” in your municipality and a small portion to fund raincoats and breakaway clothing for flashers who can’t afford their own. Please give today. |
