From my married-on-a-goat-farm friends in New York City, Claire and Dave, comes word that they've made a nifty cool design and put it up on Cafe Press. A different shirt for each region, all proceeds go to either New Orleans or the Gulf Coast via the American Red Cross Disaster Fund.

And while you might ask, "Why give $15 bucks to get a shirt, only a portion of which will go to the Red Cross, with only a portion of THAT going to people in need." A good question.*

But I think things like this are important too. Messages that tell folks we're looking out for them, and that make people who aren't [giving, thinking, loving] - it makes them think again. Especially important when the news coverage stops being so shocking and the whole world pretends everything is all better, rebuilt instantaneously.

*the other answer is that you don't have to get a shirt. There's also mugs and buttons for cheap.
