Dear MoveOn member, 

Medical facilities in Afghanistan are being pushed to the limit as the
numbers of people killed and wounded by bullets and explosions has
surged. 

The United States' role in creating this crisis is indisputable, and we
have a moral responsibility to swiftly evacuate vulnerable populations and
extend safe refuge to the Afghan people. We also have an ethical
obligation to ensure that Afghans have access to emergency medical care
and other humanitarian aid during this dire human rights crisis. 

And the crisis in Afghanistan is unfolding at the same time as a massive
earthquake and hurricane have devastated Haiti and taken the lives of
nearly 2,000 people.^1

Which is why MoveOn is partnering with Doctors Without Borders to sustain
and expand urgent medical services in both of these countries. 



[ [link removed] ]Will you rush an emergency, tax-deductible donation of $3
today to Doctors Without Borders to help save lives and treat patients in
Afghanistan and Haiti? 100% of your donation will go directly to Doctors
Without Borders.



Doctors Without Borders has been on the ground in Afghanistan and in Haiti
for decades, providing direct assistance to people when they need it most.

In Afghanistan, last year alone, Doctors Without Borders saw 112,453
patients.^2 But given the recent escalation in violence, along with the
pandemic, more medical resources are needed.

And in Haiti, much of the infrastructure—including hospitals in the
affected region—has been extensively damaged or destroyed, and some
medical facilities have been forced to evacuate their patients. Other
hospitals now lack the emergency medical equipment and medicine needed to
treat the injured.

Doctors Without Borders is already operating five medical facilities in
Haiti and is on the ground in the affected areas, responding to the
emergency.^3

additional medical equipment, essential items, and medical personnel. Will
you rush a tax-deductible donation of $3 today to Doctors
Without Borders to support the emergency efforts in Haiti and Afghanistan?



MoveOn members have always come together during times of crisis to support
people in need of emergency aid. 

Together, MoveOn members like you raised more than $3 million for relief
efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria devastated the island. And
after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and left tens of thousands of
people displaced, MoveOn members opened the doors to their very own homes
to provide shelter for families displaced by the hurricane. 

MoveOn members often respond with powerful collective action in facing
crises from Nepal to the U.S. Virgin Islands to Syria to our own border
with Mexico.

Today, as we once more confront urgent crises across the globe, we need
your support. 



[ [link removed] ]If you are able, please rush an emergency, tax-deductible donation to
Doctors Without Borders to support relief efforts in Afghanistan and
Haiti.



Thanks for all you do.
