By Request Extra: CBLDF Makes Case On #GivingTuesday; Offers Special Anthology Through Midnight PT

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has put its annual report on its site in conjunction with the charitable giving movement #GivingTuesday. They've also put together a special, 54-page #GivingTuesday edition of Defend Comics featuring a variety of established talents ranging from Neil Gaiman to Shannon Wheeler to Evan Dorking to Moritat to Amy Chu to Mark Waid to Frank Miller.

In his note this morning, CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein described the Fund's year this way: "2014 was a busy year for CBLDF. We addressed more than two dozen challenges to comics and other books, including a national outbreak of summer reading bans. We defused several legal crises before they could rise to the level of prosecutions. We took a leadership role in Banned Books Week‘s 2014 comics focus. We also added to our expansive education mission, with several new publications, more than 40 public presentations, a new monthly podcast, our weekly newsletter, and daily news and resource content on cbldf.org. CBLDF does all of this work, and more, with a small dedicated staff."

They also provided a PDF, which you can read here. The Annual report, which is the first link above, will continue much of this information as well.

I'm a big fan of the Fund, I think it performs its work admirably, and I will get on here and make a donation at some point today when I figure out my December giving budget. I hope you'll consider joining me.
