Hurricane Katrina: Responding as ONE

 

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

 

 

P.S. You can also help by taking part in the " ReAct Now: Music &

Relief " benefit concert that will air on MTV, VH1 and CMT, planned for

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
