STOCK FOR A CAUSE

Every day in our lives we support something, or someone.

Supporting animal rights, a cure for debilitating diseases like cancer and AIDs, environmental protection, rainbow pride... you name it. There is a lot of action going on in the big wide world out there trying to make the world a better place.

There's also things people DON'T support like abuse, war, nuclear power plants, whaling, poverty and even more.

What I'm putting forward is a project for all stockers to join in on.

If you have a cause you support that doesn't attack other peoples beliefs - then you're already on your way to being a part of something that is going to be huge.

The general gist of it is that you think of the cause(s) you support.

Do stock/resources to suit that theme.
In the description - talk about the cause it is depicting.
Give links to the websites that give in-depth information, list contact details for people that are victims or relatives of victims of your cause or where people can help out, or even places people can go to to donate or help out in other ways.
If you want, tell people WHY you support this cause. There's nothing greater in the world than feeling the emotion of another person.
Upload it to dA. And spread the word! The more people that know about this and join in - the greater the message of your cause will spread!

I've already started something off in my own gallery, trying to gauge a reaction from people, that came from an stock set from =lindowyn-stock

Both are against abuse:

If you want to join in - the project STARTS NOW. It will be to remind people what is important in life and things we can do to join in on the community spirit and show people what we believe in.

Support through education is sometimes to the best answer for people.
