Emergency Relief Petition for Haiti

The clock is ticking.  We must act now!

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti killed over 230,000 people, injured 300,000, and left over 1.3 million people homeless.  The response from the U.S. was swift and overwhelming; President Obama pledged $100 million dollars in emergency relief and people in the United States contributed over $700 million dollars to charities.  Despite this generous outpouring of support, most of the survivors of Haiti's earthquake still suffer from inadequate and unpredictable food distribution and a lack of basic shelter and sanitation.  And, in six weeks, the rainy season begins.

We need to act today, demand accountability; emergency needs must be met.  The people of Haiti need your voice, sign the Emergency Relief Petition here.
