Put up or Shut up.
There has been a lot of argument and drama online lately about the syrian refugees- Should we help them? Should we deny them access and focus on helping our own homeless veterans? It is a very public, very personal, debate.
But what does all the arguing across social media accomplish? Drama and nothing.
So I say put up or shut up.
That's right, I challenge those of you with loud mouths and even louder opinions to put your money where your mouth is. If you don't care about this issue, no problem. If this is deeply personal and you feel strongly about this debate, open your wallet and support your side and it's corresponding cause. Or, if you just want to be a good person, support both causes!
Here is the link to a charity that supports the Syrian Refugees.
Here is a link to a charity that helps out homeless veterans.
And here is a link that shows you how much money has been donated to these causes.
So go donate, and post a screenshot of your donation confirmation email. Let all your friends know what you think about this important issue, and don't just talk about it, Do Something.
It's the season of giving, and now you can feel good about donating AND argue with strangers on facebook. I call that a win-win.
Merry fucking Christmas everyone.
