Inspired by the great @RedCross #humanitarians working day and night to make sure families suffering the effects of the winter storm in Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Thank you to every single responder being on the front lines today!

Beautiful #Maine morning out our front door today..light fog over snowy blueberry fields. @downeastmag
Only because of the expertise, inspiration, and tireless effort of @RedCross volunteer humanitarians were we able to face what nature threw at our communities in 2020. #volunteers

No one should be left in the cold after a disaster. You can make a #GivingTuesday donation to help provide something as simple as a blanket or other essentials. Get started: rdcrss.org/3qf7ocd #GivingTuesday #GiveWithMeaning

Thank you @nytimes and @cflav for telling this important story. Last night @RedCross and our partners provided a safe place to sleep to more than 19,000 people because of climate driven extreme weather and natural disasters and the tragic toll of #COVID19 . #Joinus
Americans have spent far more time in emergency housing this year than in any year during the past decade, according to the Red Cross. The surge reflects the growing toll of climate change, as the country has staggered from disaster to disaster. nyti.ms/3cNoMyp
So many times I’ve heard people say that 2020 has been overwhelming heartbreaking, and left them not knowing what to do....@RedCross has a way to transform that compassion into action. #joinus nam10.safelinks.protection.o…
Meet Susan...while her teammates are driving hours each day to feed thousands in hard hit areas of Louisiana - she’s making sure they have a safe place to sleep, clean laundry, and all the snacks and supplies they could need. @RedCross #helpershelpinghelpers
Early days, late nights, no power, no water...but your @RedCross humanitarian responders are out there making it happen.
Just in case you forget your role...labels are provided! These two @RedCross humanitarians from North and South Carolina are doing amazing work!

The Red Cross was born out of the desire to alleviate human suffering wherever it’s found. In response to nationwide protests, we’ve added spiritual & emotional support to our respite center services. In times of unrest, it’s important for us to be there to help our communities.
Today’s ruling was a wonderful recognition of the battle against discrimination and the potential we have as a country to improve and correct the inequality that still exists in our world. Happy Pride and thank you to all you fought to make today a reality for so many.
