Dear Progressive reader,

Did you know that nearly ⅔ of American adults are without an up-to-date will? This August, The Progressive is taking part in National Make-A-Will Month: an annual event that highlights the inequities of estate planning and encourages and helps those with a will to create a plan?

National Make-A-Will Month emphasizes the significant impact a will can have on your family's future and the causes you hold dear. We're offering readers a free estate planning tool from our partner, FreeWill, to help you find:

• Security: Creating your will and estate plan allows you to communicate important financial and healthcare decisions, so you’re prepared for whatever the future may hold.  

• Peace of mind: A will allows you to provide for the people and pets you love, so you know that no matter what, they will be supported. 

• Impact: By including a legacy gift in your will, you can be a voice for peace, social justice, and the common good with us for generations to come.

The Progressive invests in this estate planning tool from FreeWill to support our community in completing this important task. It only takes about 20 minutes and is completely free to use.
 
Will you plan a gift to us in your will? This contribution costs nothing today but ensures that our hard-hitting investigative journalism is here to stay. No matter its size, we appreciate that you’re joining us in this critical work.
 
Last "Make-A-Will Month", more than 70,000 people trusted FreeWill to help them create their will and protect everything they love at no cost. Join thousands of people this month in making a difference for your loved ones! 

P.S. If you’ve already included a legacy gift to The Progressive in your plans, will you please fill out this brief form so that we can thank you for your dedication?
