National Marriage Boycott Needs Votes to Win $10K in Funding

Received this today from the National Marriage Boycott: The National Marriage Boycott (NMB) is currently competing for a $10k contest for seed funding and needs your help. To win funding we need people to vote for our idea. It is not everyday that a queer activist organization has the chance to win a high publicity social entrepreneurship competition! Our goal for this year is to spread to all fifty states as quickly as possible. By doing this we have a number of objectives: > Raise awareness about the widespread support for marriage equality by all people, including straight allies, throughout every state. > Demonstrate how committed queers and their allies are to the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act > Create safer schools by using the equality ring to as a visible symbol of the affirmation of LGBT students. Part of the reason the campaign is focused around academic institutions is to achieve this goal of supporting queer youth. However, rapid expansion requires funding. To help raise money, we have enrolled in an entrepreneurship contest called ideablob and are now finalists for a $10,000 prize. The winner is determined by the idea that gets the most votes by the end of August.
