The Nation ♥ GraceLaw
The Nation’s ten nonprofits list to donate for Christmas is out:
The economist Joel Waldfogel claims Christmas presents are a waste of money because most people don’t really like what you give them. So the heck with them–bake some cookies for the folks on your list, because everyone likes cookies, and give generously to any or all of the great groups below.. . .
2. Gulf Region Advocacy Center. This Houston-based group provides free legal help to indigent capital defendants in execution-happy Texas. GRACE has moved juries to see a life worth preserving, improved the way trials are conducted and helped build the legal framework against the death penalty. Keep it going in these desperate times.
