As Haiti reels from the devastation of Tuesday’s earthquake, the rest of the world continues to respond. As union members, we have so many blessings that are easy to take for granted. One thing we should never take for granted, though, is how much we’ve all benefited from the concept of solidarity. It’s a vital idea to our collective survival.

In that spirit, I hope we’ll all taking the opportunity to show solidarity with the victims and survivors of this tragedy. If you haven’t found a way to contribute yet, I encourage you to donate to one of the following organizations that are doing vital work to help the Haitian people come out of this catastrophic time.

American Red Cross
United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund
Doctors without Borders

Every little bit helps. Even if you don’t have much time to surf the net making donations, or if you’re timid about using your credit card info online or over the phone, you have other options. In most cases, you can even donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts via your cell phone — just text the word “HAITI” to 90999 and reply to a confirmation text.
