Wanted to share this email I got from AZM reader Charm City Shinobi:

Jamie,

I saw your posts on your blog and Yellow Peril about the auction to help out with the oil spill. My friends and I started a group called Designers Giving Back and we've been down in Mississippi for a few weeks now helping out with various things, from providing resources to volunteers to building homes for the numerous Katrina victims still displaced. We're currently working with the National Audubon Society to create a documentary showing the real effects of the oil spill, the shots they're trying to censor from the news. Our website is http://designersgivingback.com, and if you like what we're doing, could you give us a shout out on your blogs so we can help spread the awareness?

Thanks, much appreciated!
Dann a.k.a. Charm City Shinobi

Pretty freaking awesome, Dann. Designers Giving Back is accepting donations for room and board and travel or if you want to give directly, you can send money through their Razoo campaign.
