It seems that linguistic anthropologists are increasingly turning
to Kickstarter to launch initiatives surrounding issues of
language and social justice.<br>
Here is mine, aimed at <i>The New York Times</i> and defending
fair use policies against language ideologies that define
journalism and academic communication as thoroughly commodified
private property.<br>

<div>I'm so sorry to clutter up your email, but circumstances
force me to do so. </div>
<div>A week ago I let you know <span style="font-size:12.8px">that
my Endangered Alphabets Project has just launched our year's
most important Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. My aim is
to raise $15,000 to create a major exhibition of carvings
for International Mother Language Day in February 2015. Each
carving will say "mother tongue" in an endangered minority
script. When that exhibition is done, I plan to dismantle it
and ship the individual carvings to community organizations
in the countries of origin that are working to preserve
endangered cultures and their languages.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12.8px">I'm getting support and
encouragement from all over the globe, but the actual
pledges to my campaign are starting to fall short, and as
you may know, on Kickstarter if you don't reach your goal <i>you
get nothing.</i></span></div>
