by Staff Writer As a poor people led/indigenous people led organization we are extremely worried about the thrival and survival of our brothers and sisters in South Africa, Samoa, The Philippines, Malaysia, amd beyond. The loss/decrease of land, water, air and other dire impacts of Global Climate Change on poor communities of color is one of the most important issues we are concerned with as indigenous peoples in relationship with Mama earth and each other. Many of our local indigenous staff writers and scholars have family members struggling in Samoa and the Philippines therefore we are gathering contributions and working with local grassroots folks to support their relief efforts. To help Samoan folks POOR Magazine is collecting donations to give to a local Samoan congregation (Assemblies of God where one of staff writers is a member-) Please send your donations to POOR Magazine and make them in care of "Samoan relief" at 2940 16th street #301 San Francisco, Ca 94103 To Help Filipino folks - please donate to one of the following locations listed above.
