Weep With Those Who Weep (@weepwith) is a new Twitter-based effort to draw attention to disasters, conflicts, epidemics, and crises from around the world, particularly those that most North Americans otherwise would overlook. For example: ethnic violence in Kyrgyzstan, a cholera outbreak in Cameroon, a fire at a nursery in Romania, and continued problems in Darfur. @weepwith also alerts followers to ways they can respond to these tragedies.
