Title: Pan-Afrikan Hurricane
Aid Project
Time Frame: 1 Month (Considering
the seriousness of this alert we are asking you to continue to donating
to this alert as often as possible throughout the year)
Plan of Action: Raise $15,000 for Pan-Afrikan
organizations who are providing direct aid to Afrikans impacted
by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Also facilitate the donation of $15,000
non-monetary donations like clothes, food, water, and transportation
services in the following cities: Atlanta, St. Louis and Houston,
which will then be transported to affected cities.
Purpose of Action: 100,000s of families
that have been impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will need
assistance for as long as year. In some cases, longer. They will
not only need basic emergency assistance (which is defined here
as clothes, food, water), but they will also need various social
services that provide job and housing referrals, transportation,
family counseling, and small financial assistance. The purpose
of this action is to support Afrikan-run organizations that have
the desire, ability to support dislocated families and have expressed
a willingness to report their activities to those that make donations
of money, goods or services. These organizations will have lower
overhead costs and are interested in our people beyond politics
and headlines, unlike other large organizations like Red Cross,
WorldVision, UNChildren etc.
What You Should Do Now:
(1) Make a financial donation of any amount (preferably a
minimum of $2) via our secure paypal system.
(2) If you have non-monetary donations and you live in Atlanta,
St. Louis or Houston, contact us today so
we can tell you where drop-off points are in your area.
(3) Ask at least five [5] friends to participate in this
alert.
Secure online payments
can be made with credit or debit cards.
Money orders &
checks should be made out to:
The Talking Drum Collective
PO Box 1720
Stone Mountain, Ga. 30086
