Dear MoveOn member,
The death toll in Nepal has passed
5,000.1 Each time we look at the news, this
heart-wrenching number climbs higher.
The images of devastated homes, obliterated villages,
and distraught families tell only part of the story. There are the remote
villages tucked into the mountains we haven't seen yet—where the situation may
be even more dire.
Countless people are in need of food, water,
medical support, and shelter—countless because the victims are, so far,
uncountable. There is no way yet to know the total extent of the
disaster.
But we do know the need is great.
International relief organization Mercy Corps is an
exceptionally effective, efficient organization—and its Nepal-based staff and
partners are already on the ground doing critical work. Can you chip in to help
them? MoveOn Civic Action will cover the credit card fees so every dollar of
your donation goes to help people in desperate need.
Thanks for all you do.
–Anna, Corinne, Ben W., Maria, and the rest of the
team
