REMY'S ELEVEN: Epilogue
Dec. 11th, 2004 01:02 amx-gambit.livejournal.comCut to Trish Tilby in front of the Institute for Mutant Relations in Washington DC
V/O: In local news, various mutant rights groups celebrated Christmas a little early this year. Trish Tilby is in Washington with the details.
TILBY: "Thanks Wolf. The IMR and numerous other mutant rights groups have recieved an unexpected Christmas present this year in the way of almost ten million dollar in donations. The Institute for Mutant Relations, the Red Cross' Red X, four major research labs studying the mutant genome, or X-Factor, the non-profit Mutant Rights advocacy group, and dozens of smaller pro-mutant centres have recorded record donations for the month of December. With us is Jeffery Peltz, the director of the IMF. Mr Peltz, how do you characterise the sudden jump in funding?"
PELTZ: "Well, Miss Tilby, there are a number of different factors. Since most of the donations were anoynmously made, it's likely that either a major personage with an intense interest in human rights or a recently discovered mutant in the family has kicked off a large part of the funding. But several organizations have been tireless raising money for us, and they seemed to coincide with our little windfall."
TILBY: "Do you consider this a possible turning point in mutant affairs?"
PELTZ: "I think it's certainly an indication that an increasing number of Americans are realizing that civil rights, whether black, gay or mutant, is an essential American value, and are getting behind efforts not to allow members of either party to use it as a wedge issue any longer. Any one can find themselves with a mutant brother, sister, son or daughter, and to risk their lives through intolerance or ignorance is not acceptable to them any longer."
TILBY: "Is there a specific drive for this money?"
PELTZ: "Well, it will go into our lobbying for a major place for mutant rights on the 2006 elections, and hopefully serve as our springboard for the 2008 presidential elections."
TILBY: "Thank you, Directer Peltz. Certainly the advocates for stronger mutant rights and a human/mutant settlement have gained some valuable ground tonight. A little Christmas gift under an unfortunately bare tree for now. For CNN, I'm Trish Tilby."

x-avier.livejournal.comLast night, the Gypsy Banquet Hall in Washington, D.C. was alight with man-made fireworks. Not the traditional kind of fireworks, not this time. Jeremy Hirsch, the man responsible for the fireworks, is what is commonly referred to as a mutant. His differentness manifests as the ability to project small, brightly coloured bursts of light from his hands. Mr Hirsch was one of many entertainers at last night's gala affair, put on by the American Red Cross as a fundraiser for their new initiative, Red X.
Red X is a volunteer disaster relief corps with a twist. All of the volunteers are mutants and the program is specifically designed at utilizing mutant gifts to aid people in need. Those attending last night's affair shelled out $5,000 a plate in order to support this new program and the event drew a diverse group of guests; everyone from CEOs to foreign dignitaries to Hollywood headliners.
Not everyone was so happy about the Red Cross' liberal tendencies, though, as protestors surrounded the entrance, holding up picket signs and chanting, "Muties go home!" The protest remained peaceful, though, and a Red Cross spokesperson said that while the organization respects people's right to their opinion, the mission of the Red Cross is to help all people, and to give all people a chance to make a difference.
At the end of the night, when the guests did finally go home, the Red Cross estimates that the event raised more than $50,000 in support of their cause both in the evening's profits and donations made by guests during the course of the night. The money will be directed toward further training, education, and outreach for the Red X program.
