LAWG Responds to the Massive Earthquake in Haiti
Like us, you are hearing the tale of loss and destruction coming from Haiti and wondering what you can do to help. Here at the LAWG, we will be working to encourage a generous response from the U.S. government to this devastating earthquake, including for long-term reconstruction. But right now, the most important action we can all take is to contribute to one of the many caring organizations providing relief.
Here are some of our partners who participate in the LAWG coalition who are providing relief, along with their websites. Please donate to them or to any other effective organization of your choice supporting relief efforts in Haiti.
American Jewish World Service >>> www.ajws.org
Catholic Relief Services >>> www.crs.org
Church World Service >>> www.churchworldservice.org/haiti
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America/
Action by Churches Together >>> www.elca.org/disaster
Jesuit Refugee Service USA >>> www.jrsusa.org
Lutheran World Relief >>> www.lwr.org
Mennonite Central Committee >>> www.mcc.org
Oxfam America >>> www.oxfamamerica.org
Quixote Center >>> www.quixote.org
United Methodist Church >>> www.umc.org
Unitarian Universalist Service Committee/UUA >>> www.uusc.org
United Church of Christ >>> www.ucc.org
Please also see the Jesuit Refugee Service's alert calling for the United States to temporarily halt deportation of Haitians in the United States.
As our friends at Lutheran World Relief write, "Throughout the night and into the morning powerful aftershocks, some as strong as 5.9 magnitude, continued. The initial quake toppled the presidential palace and destroyed the shanty homes where most Haitians live. Their homes destroyed, people are in the streets with nowhere to go."
We all need to do what we can to lend a hand.
Best,
The LAWG Team / Lisa, Mavis, Jennifer, Paulo, Vanessa and Brian
