Sign the IRC Iraq Humanitarian Pledge

July 21, 2008 · Posted in Charities

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is currently asking for signatures on a pledge to help Iraqis who are fleeing from the violence of the war. The cool thing about this petition is that every signature will result in $1 of additional support given to their cause.

In case you are wondering, here is some general information about the IRC taken directly from their website:

Founded in 1933, the IRC is a global leader in emergency relief, rehabilitation, protection of human rights, post-conflict development, resettlement services and advocacy for those uprooted or affected by conflict and oppression.

Of every $1 the IRC spends, 90¢ goes to programs and services that directly benefit refugees and war-affected populations.

I put a badge on my sidebar if you feel like signing the pledge directly, or you can follow this link.

Happy Monday everyone!
