Tikun Olam means "repair the world." It's especially apt in this case, but I'm going to use it as my general label for the actions I'm taking to make the world a better place. I've set aside $100/month to donate to a political, human rights, or service cause I want to support. This is in addition to whatever tax-deductible donations I would usually make, since these won't be tax-deductible in general.
Via Sara Taylor Woods on Twitter, a couple of ways to support Jews in Whitefish, Montana, where there is an open-carry white supremacist rally planned.
Donate to the Montana Human Rights Network
Pledge an amount per minute that the white supremacists march or make a general donation.
I did a web search on the Montana Human Rights Network, and the only negative press I found was a letter to the editor clearly from a white supremacist. Which counts as a recommendation in my book. I pledged $1/minute up to $100, and they didn't ask for payment information up front. If the march doesn't happen for some reason, I plan to make a donation anyway, but I like tying it to the march in a positive way.
There was also info about donating to help cover the increased security cost. I'm posting it here in case that's something people want to do. I find that, as sadly necessary as guards are, that's not where I want to focus my financial energy.
