LGBT Humanitarians Help Climate Change Victims: Aid For Twister Communities

May 31, 2011

A call for action was issued today from the rainbowfund.org. Weather, and in this case, most likely global warming-related tornadoes, have inspired a San Francisco LGBT group to help the survivors. Please donate today at the link below. After all, these are our neighbors and family too.
