AMA Women Act & Inspire Solidarity with those in Haiti

Great news for everyone! The Mayan women of AMA have made their donation to their peers in Haiti, through the grassroots organization Rights Action. And better still, HSP has heard back from lots of people about how AMA's story of sacrifice and solidarity inspired to them to give to the relief efforts even though they themselves are struggling with economic hard times right here in the U.S. Here's just one of the many responses we received:

"Ben, thanks for that thoughtful and inspired breakdown. I will figure out a way to make some kind of a donation, especially considering the example of AMA. It becomes too easy with the amount of bills to be paid in the US to lose track of how lucky we are to be able to pay those bills." - Susan Posey

Folks have also really appreciated the recommendations and analysis. More is on the way, and we're really glad to see people carefully considering how to best support those in need, both through urgent short-term and necessary long-term efforts.
