I didn't have to come back from SE Asia to catch all the buzz about the Susan G. Komen for the Cure short-lived decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood projects (while signing on for pink shot gun shells as a fundraiser, mmmm) but what I did find (and I'm a big fan of solutions, not just idle internet griping) is alternative avenue to support breast cancer research for those so inclined. Street art bad boy Shepard Fairey has family members with first-person experience with the disease (his mother is a breast cancer survivor) which helped guide his selection of the Keep-A-Breast Foundation for a limited edition T-shirt campaign.
Other current Obey Clothing campaigns support Urban Roots, which introduces school kids in urban areas to actual hands-in-the-dirt farming and Dark Wave/Rising Sun -- Japan relief efforts.
What does this have to do with Montclair? We're a humanitarian town, that's what!
