This week, five-year-old Jayden Sink set up a "Pink Lemonade for Peace" stand at the Equality House - a rainbow-wrapped home located directly across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church headquarters in Topeka, Kansaas. It recently came to her attention that those affiliated with WBC were spreading hate and she wanted to stage a peaceful protest to raise money to put towards spreading messages of love and peace instead. WBC most recently set up a website attacking victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes for being sinners, but the website was quickly turned into a donation page for victims by a brilliant hacker activist. So many chances for activism, so little time!
Can't make it to Kansas to buy lemonade? You can donate to Jayden's efforts on-line at: http://www.crowdrise.com/jaydenslemonade/fundraiser/Planting-Peace. 100% of the proceeds will go to Planting Peace, http://www.plantingpeace.org/ - the folks behind the Equality House!
