I would like to remind everyone that the Red Cross is an organisation with serious overhead issues, as well as homophobic and transphobic policies.

  6. paunchjargon said: Doctors w/o Borders yay. But to be fair, all of those links refer to the American Red Cross. From my understanding, the national societies operate independently of each other (though linked through the International RC). Any info on those?
