We've watched with admiration and more than a little fear as young people in Tunisia, and now Egypt and Yemen, [have taken to the streets](https://www.nytimes.com/pages/world/middleeast/index.html) to demand more responsive government. From the very beginning of 350.org we've had active supporters in all three countries, and we know that many of our friends are caught up in the turmoil.

We will keep you posted as we get more news, but in the meantime please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
