Dear Friend:
In the wake of the destruction brought on
by Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of thousands of Americans are facing
an uncertain and challenging future.
We've all watched together as increasingly dire reports have come
out of the hardest hit areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
and right now our nation is trying to find its footing as it
responds to one of the worst disasters that we've ever faced.
We all see the pictures on TV. Right now, they need water,
food, clothing, shelter and medical attention, and soon they'll
begin the long process of putting their lives back together...
hospitals, sewers, schools...all the things that we take for granted
every day.
As members of ONE, we must believe that Americans can't help
people around the world unless we also take care of urgent needs at
home.
You can visit the ONE.ORG blog to find a list of
ONE partners and other groups working right now to help those in
most need.
In the same way that our fight against poverty is both urgent and
diligent, we now have a new challenge with the same rules, to help
stop people from dying today and help rebuild their infrastructure
for tomorrow.
In July, you answered the call of the poorest countries in the
world, and now perhaps we can help you find a way to participate at
this important time. Please visit the ONE.ORG blog and take action
today.
Thank you,
George Clooney
