Topic: On the opening night of the newest Harry Potter film we feature a true to life good verses evil parallel called the Harry Potter Alliance; a unique and extraordinarily successful activist organization that has effectively used themes from the Harry Potter books to mobilize young people to action ion issues of social justice.
The network, comprising well over 100,000 people and more than 70 active chapters across the world, has funded five cargo planes full of medical supplies sent to Haiti, raising over $123,000 for earthquake victims. And distributed over 55,000 books to communities across the world.
In its current deathly Hallows Campaign the HPA is seeking to battle 7 Horcruxes: starvation wages, LGBT inequality, suicide, depression, bullying amongst teens, and ending genocide in Sudan.
