The Golden Neep IC

If you can see this message and was not expecting it, I say welcome to movement, or at least welcome to learning more about a growing neon pink movement. If you wish to be removed from the list please let me know and I'll do that. Or if anyone else should be added, I certainly do wish to expand the network.

In the spirit of full disclosure here is a list of everyone on this ward's registry -- [attached]. But now to to the meat of things.

It has been exciting to see more and more people wearing pink at quidditch matches and elsewhere in the community, but it is time we capitalize on this momentum and take the next step.

Since the new year, I have been in small meetings work to work on paperwork to establish a CIO. We need a formalized statement of purpose as well as somewhat unrestricted access to funds. In trying to enact long term change, we will need to be able to retain legal counsel, public relations, and eventually be able to provide salary for those actively working to maintain the CIO and achieve our goals.

As of right now I have been using the name "The Uplift Foundation." However, as nothing has been filed I am open to other options.

To paraphrase the document, The Uplift Foundation aims to create an equal playing field and sustain a vital, prosperous community where justice and opportunity are extended to everyone.

Some of the long term goals are identified to:
• Promote harmony between different sections of the community
• Provide education and training for children and adults
• Serve as a support network for young people coming from non-magical background
• Serve as a civic hub and center of information, where ideas are shared, levers for change are identified, and common agendas for the future are developed

More specifically:
• Revision of the Muggle Studies curriculum taught at Hogwarts working with both the school and the Wizarding Examinations Authority
• Internships in the non-magic world for advanced muggle studies students and other interested students


What I am seeking now are people to sit as trustees or even those who might in the future be able to serve more prominent roles and particularly those are more politically inclined.
