QJL NEEDS VOLUNTEERS

Queer Justice League is building itself up toward future feats of strength and superheroism. In particular right now, we need:

-- people who will contribute facts and opinions to this blog
-- people who will help us raise funds
-- people experienced with formal consensus decisionmaking who will help us get comfortable with it as an organization.

If you have any of those skills, or ideas for future actions, please let us know.
