Giving Tuesday: Why I’m skipping the Red Cross for this interfaith life-saving group
If anything can build a more peaceful world, it’s groups like this.
In fact checking the news, I see how lost and misguided legacy media have become. Guided by false, simplistic narratives and an obsession with casting certain groups as eternal victims, the media spins stories every day. But reality is far more interesting.
Just as humans fight and kill, we also support and love each other. And some actual victims reject building their identities around victimhood, instead focusing on how to move forward with hope and optimism.
Some organizations are truly exceptional in these same ways. Unlike the disastrous Red Cross and UNRWA, these groups fight to achieve good things even in the toughest conditions. People should know about these groups. Across the world, they seed a way of thinking that humanity needs more of. They show entire regions what’s possible. The ripple effects are global.
If anything can build a more peaceful world, it’s groups like this. That’s why I’m psyched to partner with United Rescue (“Hatzalah”) for a limited time. In this last month of the year, a huge portion of Americans do their charitable giving. Billions are spent today, Giving Tuesday. I encourage you to consider joining me in supporting them, a registered 501(c)(3).
This is not just a high-minded concept—it’s reality. Thousands of volunteers, from all backgrounds and religions, work together successfully to save lives 24/7 in Israel. When I was there earlier this year, my taxi driver Mohammed told me he doubles as a volunteer ambulance driver for UH, often using his cab to transport people in need.
Thanks to a sponsorship, for the first 350 people who sign up to get more information from this group — whether you contribute or not — a small contribution will be made to help support They Stand Corrected.
