Eight weeks into the South Asian earthquake, emergency relief funding is still at a crisis point. The U.N. Emergency Coordinator has warned that "the situation remains very difficult and indeed we are on a knife's edge." Visitors to Amazon.com contributed more than $12.5 million to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina and $16 million for tsunami relief efforts. Yet, eight weeks on, there is no similar button for South Asian earthquake relief aid on Amazon.com's home page. Amazon.com has demonstrated its commitment to humanitarian causes in the past. It needs to demonstrate this commitment again to a cause that requires urgent help. Please submit a quick letter to Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon.com, urging him to put a South Asian earthquake relief aid button on Amazon.com's front page.
