As usual my parents asked me what to get for me and R.
The best present is a future for us and for L that we do not have to fear – before, we took it for granted, mostly, but now, no longer.

So, instead of presents, I asked them to donate to organizations that would help with that future. And I want to keep it uncontroversial.

They love to be out in nature, so: Sierra Club and Natural Resource Defense Council.
They hate neo-nazis, so Anti-Defamation league
They are anti-religious and believe in science, so Union of Concerned Scientists
They support free expression, so PEN America.
They are pro gun-control, so Violence Policy Center (the one organization NRA hates the most)

They also voted for Trump, and I don’t want drama at the holidays, but I can’t imagine there to be any.
