Free Tintypes to support API Equality Nor. Cal. (offer good til 7.1.13)

API EQUALITY – NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
My good friend Monna Wong was recently appointed to be Executive Director of API Equality – Northern California, an org that works with the LGBT Asian Pacific Islander community to combat homophobia and transphobia in the API community while uplifting the voices and experiences of API folks within the LGBT community.

They must raise $7000 to support their summer internship program, which is so important to the longevity of the Queer API movement.

If you donate $120 in the name of the Visibility Project, (representing one dollar for the Queer API folks + Allies they’ve trained all year), you will get a free tintype of a digital image you send delivered to your door! Tintypes will be printed in early July.

A tintype is an image printed on a metal plate and a historical photographic process from the 1800s. Here’s a little history, information, and some more sample images
