the 'Blog for Katrina Relief' to encompass the entire holiday weekend. Details can be found at Truth Laid Bear's Katrina Relief page. I've already been blogging my choice of charity, the American Red Cross, but let me add a couple of links they've asked us to include in our posts:
Glenn's roundup post
Technorati flood aid
Technorati Hurricane Katrina
I know some of what I've blogged these past few days is repetitive; please bear with me. The devastation is so great and the situation so dire that it bears a little repeating. We musn't let Katrina fade in the news until everyone who can be is rescued. Please show you care. Please donate today or find other ways to help relief efforts. Refugees are far flung; some may be in your area (we have some here in Central Kentucky, for example). Most are cut off from home with very little in the way of necessities, and staying with relatives may be a good short-term solution but some will be displaced for months. Local stations are spotlighting the needs here, hopefully they are doing the same where you live. If nothing else, blogging or participating in the cooperative Wiki or other sites can help organise the mountain of loose information out there. Now if there were just some way to get it to the people who need it the most....
