The Hollywood Reporter has put together a great piece on Joss Whedon – Exploring the Whedonverse: Inside the Cult Hero Fame of ‘Avengers’ Director Joss Whedon. With Joss currently in the headlines for the amazing success of The Avengers, there are no shortage of articles celebrating his career – but not many take the time to also look at what his fans do to celebrate him and his creations. In addition to the many mentions of how Joss’s fans have been vocal in their support and passionate in their enthusiasm, THR has kindly recognised the efforts of Browncoats to support Equality Now through Can’t Stop the Serenity. Thanks THR!

What is Can't Stop the Serenity?
Can’t Stop the Serenity (CSTS) is a unique opportunity to indulge your geeky side while doing some good! Since 2006, fans have organized screenings of Joss Whedon's Serenity to raise funds and awareness to support Equality Now in their work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Join us as we aim to misbehave for a good cause!There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That’s me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That’s a great deal harder, and that’s Equality Now. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic human decency.
