A Few suggestions
WorkingAssets.com
Was established in 1985 to help busy people make a difference in the world through everyday activities like talking on the phone. Every time a customer uses one of Working Assets' donation-linked services (Long Distance, Wireless and Credit Card), the company donates a portion of the charges to nonprofit groups working to build a world that is more just, humane, and environmentally sustainable. To date, over $50 million has been raised for progressive causes.
The company also serves as a strong political force, dedicated to giving its customers the opportunity to speak out on critical public issues through its Web site and monthly phone bill.
Prayer - Never underestimate the power of prayer. Pray for those in positions of authority to affect issues of concern to make righteous decisions. (1 Timothy 2:1-6; 1 Chronicles 16:8-36)
Service - Write letters to community leaders and local legislators who are in positions of authority to make a difference. See our Act 4 Changes pages featuring messages from the Union of Concerned Scientist, Hillary Clinton, Schumer and also a letter from former ABC Journalist Walter Cronkite. (www.citizenredress.com)
- Volunteer time at a community resource that is doing something positive to make a difference or start one up if you have the time and resources to do so.
Support - Donate warm coats, clothes, toiletries, and etc to those in need; such as homeless shelters and those who have been affected by the various natural disasters which has taken place over the past few years in various parts of the world.
Donate funds to appropriate charities and social justice agencies whose philosophies are Christ-like (Such as www.HopeWorldWide.org).
For they yield so much power over our lives. Just look at how much our lives have changes over the past eight years for reference. If we are truly our neighbors keepers, how can we sit back and be content to not get involved while so many remain hungry and their numbers are being added to daily. In this current economy, which has gone from bad to worst over the past seven years - now has many who were considered middle class just a year or two ago are now finding themselves sleeping on the streets as a result of erroneous political decisions by our top politicians. We are deeply engrossed in a war with no known exit strategy or intention, against folks who were not our enemy prior to our invading their territory. Most Iraqian’s were not exactly fans of America (for valid reasons) however, facts seem to reveal that 911, the primary reason given for the invasion, was the responsibility of al-Qaida in Afganastan, not Iraq.
