E. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO????????


THE AFTERMATH:RELIEF AND DEALING WITH THE TRAGEDY OF LOST LIVES, LOST JOBS AND LOSS TRUST
 
1. How can I best help those who are suffering?
2. Who is it who has lost? Does it include those whose lives may be in peril in resultant military ventures and those whose subsistence is threatened with loss of jobs or opportunities?
3. Where can I best give money to help?
4. Can I raise more and how can I do that?
5. How do I help friends or others understand what has happened?
6. What are others doing and what else can I do?

In addition to the many large and very worthwhile sites, there are places where you can contribute your own art and smaller sites to help those overlooked. As an example, see Editorial Photo.com below where photographers and others can help those photographers (one dead, one with two broken legs, another missing and others whose studios were destroyed by the disaster) who were at the scene. And of course the AFL-CIO has established strong funds not only for labor families who have lost loved ones but for those around the country whose jobs have been eliminated as a consequence of 9/11. And remember, there are many ways to help and you can pick and choose or create your own.
