Usher believes that everyone can do something to help people in Haiti.
"With Haiti in a state of emergency right now, young people do have the power to save lives," he explained. "I am asking young people of all ages to mobilize by organizing local fundraisers with the proceeds going to their peers in Haiti. This is one way we all can make a difference."
