Dear John, As an AFSC supporter, you are part of a community working to build a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future. Thank you! I know that the challenges of our times can be daunting. We have been through a lot with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries are in conflict. More than 108 million people are displaced from their homes today. And climate change is amplifying the inequalities of our world.
Thankfully, courageous people are everywhere.
- They are in Atlanta, resisting “Cop City,” a proposed training ground for police to practice urban warfare.
- They are in Syria, helping each other survive the devastation of an earthquake.
-
They are in Denver, Newark, San Diego, and Miami, helping migrants find safety and unite with loved ones.
- They are in El Salvador, South Sudan, and Gaza, defending human rights and dignity.
Our communities are full of people acting with love and a deep commitment to nonviolence to bring needed change. Among them are AFSC Partners for Peace, whose monthly gifts help make the AFSC global community’s efforts possible.
This month, we set out to find 100 people to make new sustaining gifts. Today is the last day of our campaign. Will you start a monthly gift today to help us meet and exceed our goal? We would love to welcome you as our newest Partner for Peace.
In peace, |
