Humanitarian work has become important to me as an expression of the Peace Testimony, as a way to put into action my recognition of the Goddess-within each person. There are many excellent humanitarian organizations out there; here are some with which I have connections or personal experience.

"Getting in the way of violence"
Run mostly by volunteers; a gift from the American people, to the American people. Give time today! Whether you give time, blood, or money, you will make a difference in someone's life -- I promise.
NRCAT's "Banners Across America" campaign: http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=152&Itemid=151
These are the folks responsible for the banners you may have seen outside different houses of worship that say things like "Torture is wrong," "Torture is a moral issue," and "Honor the Image of God: Stop Torture Now."
"QUIT is the spiritual work of Quakers to end torture."
