As I've grown older, I've found it more and more difficult to engage in social activism. The more I learn, the more the large organizations at the forefront of such efforts  disappoint me. But things in Haiti right now are Very Bad. And this finally got me off my butt, and I did some research.

Often, you can tell when you've found the right answer on the web because of the large number of links pointing to it. That's how Google used to work, after all. In this case, I found an organization called Progressives for Haiti. If you go to their website, you'll see a large list on the left of organizations that support them in their mission.  And since progressives for Haiti made a short, cogent argument for donating  to Doctors Without Borders, that's what I did.

I won't claim that I did the best possible thing. But, I think I did a least a pretty good thing. Certainly, if you're short on time and energy,  you could do a lot worse than following my lead here.
