Because I can't actually do this 24/7: where to go for more Katrina-related updates

[buggery]

(A quick note, mostly so *I* don't forget: I will be doing posts on Sean Penn and on the Houston Astrodome later this weekend.)

Like the subject line says. There's only so long I can think about / read about / write about some of these things -- good or bad news -- before I have to walk away, for my own sanity.

Here are some other LJs I recommend you check for Katrina news. In most cases, if I see something on one of these, I *won't* post about it here. Though there are exceptions.

How can this not make you smile? Several LJ users who are donating $1 for every comment they receive on a particular post, usually to the Red Cross.

One way to help (now and in months to come)

The American Friends Service Committee (the Quaker organization) has done initial emergency relief, but is now gearing up to speak up for the civil liberties and economic needs of poor evacuees. They've been on these issues for a long time, and have the infrastructure to leverage other groups' efforts. http://afsc.org/hurricane/default.php
