How You Can
Support Us
September 17, 2007
|
► send an
encouraging email
A few kind words can go a
long way. Never underestimate the power of moral
support. Moral support is what got us here. There are a
lot of people who are against us and every letter of
encouragement helps. So send us an email to
meem@meemgroup.org
and let us know you are rooting for us. We share all
these emails with our members at meetings and will be
posting some of them here on our website.
► offer a
direct service
We're always up for
freebies. Whatever profession you are in, we can find
some way you can help us. Offer your expertise, advice,
or skills. Come to our events or to events we endorse.
|
► help us
network
If you are a member of a
group or organization you know can support Meem's
activities, it helps if you get
in touch. Invite a Meem member to a conference or
workshop. Help us collaborate with other activists or
groups that can support our work. |
|
Become a
Friend of Meem
A Friend of Meem is someone who has made a
long-term commitment to support Meem's work on a
regular basis. Just send us an email expressing
your support and we will get in touch with you
and sign you up for our e-newsletter so you can
stay up-to-date with our progress and specific
calls for help. You can read more about Friends
of Meem on a page we will set up soon. |
|
► become an
advocate for lesbian rights
We believe in personal
rather than public advocacy: the ripple effect. You are
in direct contact with tens of people every day. Stand
up for lesbian rights in conversations. Stand up for any
minority rights. Challenge homophobic or stereotypical
remarks. Voice your support for the LGBT struggle.
► tell lesbians
you know about Meem
If you know any Arab
lesbians who have not yet heard about Meem, send them a
link to our website. Our outreach strategy depends
primarily on word of mouth. And it works. Help us spread
the word. You can be changing lives.
► send us a
gift
We are currently compiling
lesbian-related books, publications, and DVDs for our
library, and we receive most of them as gifts. If you
have any material you'd like to send to us, we'll be
happy to receive them and coordinate their delivery to
us.
► make a
donation to a project
If you are eager on making
a personal donation to Meem, we are very grateful for
your generosity. Choose a project you believe in most:
the Safe House, psychological therapy track, member
training and capacity-building, research, or
documentary. We will tell you more about our projects
and the small budgets we need to keep them running. |

Whether you choose to take action in one of the
above
support methods or simply send us warm wishes
from
your heart, we are grateful for every man and
woman,
gay or straight, who believes in Meem as a
necessary
space in the struggle for human dignity in
Lebanon, the
Middle East, and the world. Thank you for
clicking on
this page.
