Tragedy in Japan. First an immensely powerful earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami, and now possible core meltdowns at nuclear power plants.

Today we need to stand together and help our fellow human beings. Because this tragedy highlights how fragile life on earth is, and how connected every one of us is to each other.

That is why we believe that opening our hearts and our pocketbooks is not enough.

We need to open our homes to those in Japan wanting or needing to escape the threat of nuclear poisoning.
