Indigo Girls Spread Love of Earth
Amy and Emily, known and loved as the Indigo Girls, have announced a special fund raising effort to benefit Honor the Earth. For the rest of February, 10 percent of all sales at the Indigo Girls’ official online store will go the non-profit organization, whose mission is to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and to develop needed financial and political resources for the survival of sustainable Native communities.
Amy Ray is quoted on the Honor the Earth Website. describing the organization as “not just another environmental cause. The basic issues of human rights, justice and our own survival are at stake.”
Among the items for sale at the store are the Girls’ two latest CDs, an I.G. cap, and several t-shirts and sweatshirts. It’s a great time to add to your Amy and Emily attire, supporting a great cause at the same time. If your closet is already overflowing with t-shirts, you can always just donate directly to Honor the Earth.
The Indigo Girls have a long history of support for numerous causes important to the queer community and to humanity in general. Their 10 percent promotion is just another of their many contributions, which have the effect of not only generating interest and revenue for worthy causes, but also of improving perceptions of our community through their generosity and charity of spirit. Go buy something.
