Stephenie Meyer will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Twilight with several events during the Forever Twilight in Forks Festival. Ente
stephenie meyer announced she'll be at forever twilight in forks this year and is accepting submissions for a q&a - it would be a real bummer if her team had to sort through questions asking if she has contributed a cent to the Quileute Tribe or Move to Higher Ground ...
Let's try saying something a little like:
25% off is great. You know what would be better? 25% (of the Twilight collections) going to MTHG.
(Context)
Quileute Move to Higher Ground |
Help Save and Preserve the Quileute Culture and Traditions for 7 Generations to come!
Help secure the future of the Quileute Tribe by moving their at-risk community to the safe zone where their heritage and culture can continue to thrive for generations to come.
Did you know that the Quileute Tribe did not get paid for Twilight? Neither did I, but damn that's messed up
For anyone off facebook (or just not in the group) every year we go on a spree to donate to the Quileute tribe to help move their facilities out of tsunami zones. https://mthg.org/
It'd mean a lot if y'all donated or even just spread the word.
Hey the Quileute school is opening this month outside the flood zone! There is a video on Instagram. It looks beautiful
how wonderful! very glad the Quileute people raised enough to move the school outside the tsunami zone
Hey, since the Twilight movies are trending on Netflix--and since the Quileute tribe gets nothing from them--don’t forget that it’s important to keep donating!
The Move to Higher Ground Project is the Quileute project to protect their community from the tsunami-risk zone it’s currently located in. If you’re going to watch the movies through Netflix, make sure you donate! If you’re not--donate anyway!
After months of planning and organizing, the Higher Ground Twilight fanzine is finally ready! This is a 26 page mini digital zine full of artworks from Twilight fans. Including paintings, fanfiction, and even a printable coloring page!
We are really excited to finally get to present this zine to the public! All proceeds will be going directly to the Move to Higher Ground project, an initiative which seeks to secure the future of the Quileute tribe by moving their at-risk community out of a dangerous flood zone to safe ground.
We recognize that the Twilight series has many issues with depicting the Quileute people in a racist manner, and we do not condone these depictions. We believe it is only fair that us Twilight fans take a moment to give to the people who were hurt by this series. Alongside the proceeds going to the Quileute people, we are providing a list of anti-racism resources for self education on the subject in the zine itself. This page will also be released free to the public so if you can't afford to donate you can still have access to the compiled list of resources to educate yourself.
Now for the big question: How to buy!
It's pretty simple make a donation of at least $3 to https://mthg.org/ and keep some form of record of your donation. This can be a screenshot or an emailed receipt to forward or however else you can prove you donated! Then send this proof to our tumblr, our Twitter (@ZineTwilight), or our email ([email protected]) and we will send you the pdf file!
We also have an option to send it as a gift! (With anonymous gifting available) just simply send proof of donation and contact info of who you want to send it to! It would make a perfect valentines gift for any Twilight fan!
The official release date is Feb 12th and we will start sending copies that day! However you can start putting your orders in now!
Even if you are not interested in the Zine itself we still encourage you to donate to mthg.org as it is an extremely important project that deserves your help.
Thank you so much,
Higher Ground: A Twilight Charity Zine staff
Hi! I've donated to mthg a couple of times, and i was curious if you know how much they need to raise, or how close they are to their goal?
I haven't seen any definitive numbers, but my understanding is that the initial fundraising drive was to move the tribal school (which is why the Amazon charity is called "Quileute Tribal School") and construction began in 2020 for that, but there are other buildings that will need to be moved, too, so even if they reached their first goal there are secondary goals that will no doubt also need more funding. Speaking for myself, so long as the donation link is active on the MTHG site, I'll donate periodically.
In other real Quileute news, they've started publishing their newsletter, The Talking Raven, again! It's a great way to keep up with news and they often include stories, history, and vocabulary words, although this first issue is (understandably!) heavy on Covid news and protocols. According to their Facebook page, the Quileute also now have a language and culture app you can download! But I haven't personally tried that out yet.
If Twilight fans want to learn about the real Quileutes and their history and culture, here are a few resources produced and shared by the Quileute people themselves with which to start.
