#WeShowUp: Launching our End-of-Year Fundraising Campaign

As we move toward the end of the year, we’re deepening our commitment to social movements. The diverse breadth and scale of our partners’ work means that we build long-term partnerships to resource sustained change… But we need your support to make that long-term model of solidarity possible.

From now until December 31, we seek to raise $1.5 million for our movement accompaniment work. Join us so we can show up for the long-haul!

 

Funders for Ceasefire Letter Gains Momentum

Our hearts are heavy after the latest “humanitarian pause” has ended. It’s now more important than ever to amplify the call for a permanent ceasefire and stopping military aid to Israel, among other demands.

Let’s keep our collective efforts going. In a month since the launch of the Philanthropy Open Letter for Humanity and Justice in Palestine and Israel, more than 1000 organizations and individuals have signed on. 

 

Reflections on a Recent Visit to Palestine

This past summer, a donor/activist delegation visited our partners in Palestine. We shared meals, made friends, and learned from amazing people committed to freedom and justice… some of whom were killed in Israeli attacks over the past two months.

For International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on November 29, we shared a photoblog and some reflections from delegates.

SURVEY! How Do You Want to Get Engaged?

For next year, we are planning more Solidarity Encounters, a delegation, and other donor engagement opportunities. But we need your input!

We invite you to complete our donor engagement survey to let us know what kinds of activities you would like to participate in, and what topics and regions you would like to learn more about. Your responses will not only inform our planning for the year ahead… we can then reach out to you specifically about your interests!

Thank you in advance for taking our donor engagement survey!
