HELP!!

On Friday night, September 25th, a devastating Typhoon Onody hit the Philippines. Metro Manila and various other parts of the Philippines are currently under a state of calamity. Varying sources estimate about 240 people killed, several thousands are still missing, almost half a million displaced and as left an estimated $4.9 billion in damages. News reports state that this is the worst rainfall the contry has seen in 40 years. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that Ondoy's total rainfall was 410mm, while Hurricaine Katrina's was 380mm in New Orleans.

The Sagip-Tulong Sa Pilipinas (STP) Emergency Relief Campaign aims to nationally coordinate US-based efforts to provide financial and material support for the direct benefit of the Typhoon Ondoy victims. While relief efforts have been initiated by the Alliance for a Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines, a national formation of progressive organizations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago and New York, we welcome individual and group collaboration.
