Jennifer then mentioned that The L Word was a great catalyst for charity events and fundraising. When she made her L Word book available on line, she knew that she can rely on the fans to be interested enough to buy it, so the majority of the proceeds would go to MSF, which is one of Jennifer’s favorite charities.
Jennifer said, “I truly love the Matthew Shepard Foundation. I love the legislative work they do. The education outreach programs to young people they’ve created, but mostly, as a mother and as a human being, I worship at the altar of Judy Shepard. At a time when people seem to be so willing to compromise their values in exchange for access, at a time when power seems more important than ideas, at a time when people are gripped with an economic fear that makes them believe they are unable to give, and at a time when so many people cry for violent revenge in reaction to violence, Judy Shepard is a shining light… Love is the greatest light, the brightest torch, and will always be the greatest instrument of change.”
