If people want to know what ILCA, NABA, and LLLI are doing in response to the Ad Council deal, they should remember that these organizations are comprised not of some distant, hypothetical "THEM", but of US. In order to function, in order to have any chance of having the money and personel to confront big problems, these organizations have to have PAID UP MEMBERS. They also have to have members who accept officer roles, or who agree to work on task forces or special projects. A really fabulous response to the present situation would be to join and get involved in the organizations that represent our profession and which advocate for bfg out in the world.
