help_haiti (the fandom drive to raise money to help those suffering in the wake of the earthquake). I think that's fantastic. ^_^ It's the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm part of fandom. Thing is... I'm impatient. O_O If I decide to act on something, I'd like to do it now... and I'm a little ashamed that it took me several days of hearing about this disaster to do something about it.
Punchline? By all means, if you want to participate in the fundraisers, do so -- they're great, and as already noted, I'm proud that we're doing it. ^_^ Or? Just get off your collective asses and donate something directly. If everyone on LJ donated a dollar? Or $2? Or $10? Think what a difference that would make.
That's all. ^_^
Doctors without Borders -- where I donated.
And here's a few other choices gathered byhelp_haiti, including (but not limited to) the Red Cross.
