Dear Friend,

We need you… TODAY.

Giving Tuesday is a day of radical generosity. While I am sure there are many organizations asking for your donation today, I challenge you to ensure your gift empowers Black America.

Since 1910, the National Urban League has been striving to elevate the standards of living for African Americans and other historically underserved groups. We have provided free services to over three million people in 2023 alone.

Each gift enables us to change another life for the better.

Earlier this month, I sent you an email sharing how the Louisiana Urban League affiliate changed the trajectory of Shamia Law’s life by providing services to help her business, CPR with MIA. Shamia is providing life-saving training to her community as a direct result of the free support she received from the Urban League.

We have certainly made progress. Over the past decade:

Yet, the fight is far from over.

Although, there may be dozens of organizations asking for your support today. For one moment, imagine a world with no equality gaps. A world with equal opportunities in jobs, housing, health, education, and justice.

Today, you have a chance to help that world become reality.

Your Giving Tuesday donation bridge the gap by providing substantial relief – both financially and personally – for individuals like Shamia Law. Make an empowering gift to uplift Black and Brown individuals in over 300 communities.

Thank you partnering with us to change lives, one at a time - and for taking this global day of giving opportunity to support Black and Brown communities.

Sincerely,

Marc H. Morial

President and Chief Executive Officer

P.S. There are a variety of ways you can empower Black and Brown individuals both now and in the future. Consider our Legacy Circle or Opportunity Circle - making a monthly gift to make even more of an impact.
