On January 12, 2010 at 4:53 pm, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti just 10 miles west of Porte-au-Prince and its 2 million inhabitants. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, and another 3 million people are in dire need of emergency aid.
Along with all of us here at The Ruckus, many of you have already donated. We want to keep giving on an even larger scale, and we want to get as many people involved as possible, so we need your help. All it will cost you is the click of a button, an email to some friends, a link on Facebook, and a Tweet or two.
Over the next week, we will donate $1 (USD) to The Red Cross for every new subscriber to The Ruckus, and .10 (USD) for every new Twitter follower.
To subscribe in a feed reader, click here.
To subscribe via email, enter your email address in the space on the right sidebar, and click the "Subscribe" button.
To follow us on Twitter, click here.
It's as simple as that. All we ask is that you subscribe, and then pass it on. Tell your friends, link to this post on Facebook, tweet and re-tweet. We know how powerful the music community (and the Internet at large) can be, and we're counting on your help.
Anyone willing to match the final donation total? Email us.
The project will close on Friday, January 29th at 7pm est.
