Not about the election or Wall Street

9/30/2008

 
I assume that many of you, like me, are caught up with the daily drama of the election that is right around the corner. On top of that, we keep hearing how we are headed to a financial collapse.

These are exciting, interesting, maddening, scary and weird times.

However, there are things happening beyond our fair shores. Haiti–where Three Stone Steps will be heading right after the election–is still suffering the aftereffects of a terrible hurricane season. Should you wish to help, the organizations below would appreciate it. (Please note: Three Stone Steps has no connection to any of these organization, and inclusion in this list does not imply endorsement by Three Stone Steps.)

Campaign for Labor Rights (CLR): Haitian Workers Hurricane Relief Fund
1247 E St SE
Washington, DC20003CLR is collecting funds for the Confédéderation des Travailleurs Haitiens to distribute to union sisters and brothers and their families for hurricane relief. The CTH has been rebuilding since a US-sponsored coup in 2004 overthrew Haiti‘s elected government. According to the CLR, the coup was led by groups funded and trained by the International Republican Institute, whose Board is chaired by John McCain. CTH members were targeted because of their support for Haitian democracy and opposition to foreign intervention.
