Haiti Help

In times of hardship everyone tries to do their part to help with relief efforts. When Haiti was hit by a 7.0 M earthquake and over 50 subsequent earthquakes three million people were affected. To help deal with the medical needs and money necessary to re-build Haiti, Leif Steiner of Moxie Sozo and Josh Higgins, organizer of the So-Cal Fire Poster Project, are organizing a poster sale.

Designers are asked to create and print posters, then send them off to the cause. Everyone is welcome to produce posters for the cause, and since it is not a juried show everyone’s poster will be included in the project. The goal is to display a beautiful cross section of posters from famous and not so famous designers. All proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, they are currently working in Haiti and urging other emergency medical teams to continue helping as well.

This is an example of one of the countless ways designers have used their talents to give back to people in need. While they may not be in the fields helping people affected by tragedy, organizing fundraising efforts such as these helps to provide the financial assistance that is desperately needed.
