Dear John,

Before now, we led off with three award-winning stories of partners in the United States and Europe leveraging investments into real change. Would you step up to invest more wins for liberty in 2024 by giving here?

You may recall our partner, Ideas Beyond Borders (IBB), the proud winner of Atlas Network’s 2023 Middle East & North Africa Liberty Award, who impressed us again last month as this year's Smart Bets Pitch Competition winner.

Their recognition is well-deserved for spreading the ideas of individual rights and economic freedom in a region where these principles can be hard to find, especially in local languages. But these values we share with Ideas Beyond Borders are now experiencing a renaissance after decades of unrest. Your support has been a driving force behind these accomplishments, highlighting the real difference we can make.

IBB’s online platforms provide a voice to classical liberal thinkers in the Middle East, including podcasts and educational resources translated into Arabic and other regional languages. These digital spaces have become a home for free thought, challenging authoritarian governments and offering a place to learn about liberty.

Their latest project that shined at award time is called "Open for Business in Kurdistan," and represents a turning of the page in a troubled region. This initiative is planting a culture of entrepreneurship in the fertile soil of the Muslim world. By investing in local entrepreneurs and working with policymakers to improve the region’s business climate, IBB is paving the way for sustainable changes that can create long-term prosperity in a region scarred by war and desperation.

Atlas Network donors have empowered Ideas Beyond Borders to address an urgent policy problem—the difficulty of starting a business or sharing the ideas of freedom in one of the world’s most challenging regions. Now, Ideas Beyond Borders is advancing solutions and leading the way for peers around the world.

This award-winning Atlas Network partner is making liberty accessible to the Middle East as never before. Would you like to see the Middle East heal and prosper?

Please step up to make this happen in 2024 now: [link removed] ([link removed]) .

Thank you for making victories like this possible. Together, we are changing history, removing barriers to human flourishing, and undoing the harm done by war and illiberalism.

In Liberty,

Vale Sloane
