YELLOWJACKET

http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/about/

"Can’t Stop the Serenity is here to support Equality Now. Since 2006, we have raised over $500,000 for Equality Now and other charities. Organized entirely by volunteers, Can’t Stop the Serenity is a unique opportunity to indulge your geeky side while doing some good.

Once a year, we join together around the globe and host charity screenings of Serenity as well as many other festive events. We raise money to give to Equality Now and other worthy causes. Basically, we convene to watch a movie. Not a bad way to support charity, huh?

Yet, we’re not just about raising money – it’s more than that. It is true that we give aid to Equality Now and an ever growing number of charities. However, we also gather together in Browncoat fellowship to keep the signal strong for Firefly, Serenity and of course, for Joss Whedon and his ever growing body of work.

We share the ideal that people should “aim to misbehave,” if it absolutely means doing the right thing. We hold true that anyone can make a difference, and no effort is insignificant. Further we believe that a government shouldn’t destroy the rights of its citizens, regardless of sex. Basically, we watch our shows, support our causes and allow our voices to be heard because we live in countries which allow us to do so. But we realise that there are other people out there who can not do what we can do.

And that is what we do – we aim to do good works.

Joss Whedon is known for writing Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel for television. When his newest baby, Firefly was prematurely canceled, fans of the show sprang into action to get the series back on. While we are still working for the return of the TV series, we DID manage to make enough noise to get our beloved Serenity to the big screen. Along the way, we discovered another worthwhile cause: Equality Now. They support women’s rights around the world, working for (you guessed it) equality. Serenity and Equality Now; two great ideas coming together to create Can’t Stop the Serenity."

If there isn't a screening in your area, consider putting one on yourself.
It can be a full screening or an affiliate affair - a smaller shindig that still raises money for Equality Now but doesn't include a public showing of Serenity.
The Global team will help in whatever way possible.

Celebrating the 7th year of Can't Stop the Serenity
