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!
Thanx so much for posting this! I’m off to sign now.
Awesome!
