Dear MoveOn member,

The devastation in Japan is simply horrific. The death toll is rising by the hour. Tens of thousands remain missing, more than 450,000 people
have been displaced, and millions lack access to food, water,
electricity, and medicine.

And as rescue and relief workers struggle to operate around the clock,
Japan must also contend with partial meltdowns and the escalating risk
of an even worse catastrophe at several nuclear reactors.^2

Right now the people of Japan are in crisis, their resources are
stretched thin, and they need our help. Many organizations are already
on the ground providing relief, including Doctors Without Borders and
the Red Cross. You can provide immediate assistance by donating to help
fund the emergency response:

* Doctors Without Borders is sending highly trained teams of doctors
into the hardest-hit and most difficult-to-reach regions of Japan.
(Note: Doctors Without Borders is not accepting contributions
"earmarked" for Japan, but rather drawing from general support to
enable their important response work there.) Donate here:

* The Red Cross operates 92 hospitals in Japan and has deployed 700
medical relief volunteers across the country already. Donate here:
