Dear Friend,

As we stand on the shoulders of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his timeless message of hope, courage, and unity continues to guide our journey toward a more equitable future. Over 60 years later, we remain steadfast in our commitment to “achieve the dream” he envisioned – a nation where people are not judged by the color of their skin.

You, Friend, have been an instrumental part of this journey. You followed in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps when you joined National Urban League’s mission, and your generous gifts have further reinforced your dedication to equity. For that, I extend my deepest gratitude.

Today, as we strive to empower Black communities in reaching their dreams, we ask that you continue helping the National Urban League lead the fight for an equitable future, the way Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had dreamed of, and to provide hope to those living in Black and Brown communities. Please renew your support in 2024. Any donation would be a tremendous help. Or your very best gift. 

Last year alone, your support of the National Urban League movement touched the lives of over three million people across the country. This year, we have ushered in a new era of advocacy and activism for the Urban League Movement. In 2024, our rallying cry will be what we call “D3”: Defend Democracy, Defend Diversity, and Defeat Poverty.

While these goals may seem lofty, it's through incremental progress that we inch closer to realizing the Dream. Similarly, your gift, regardless of its size, is not just a drop in a large bucket. Your contribution today, of any amount, is critical to the success of our "D3" initiative in 2024. Thank you in advance for helping us light the path forward—please give today. 

Sincerely,

Marc H. Morial

President and Chief Executive Officer

P.S. If another goal is to get savvier with your giving this year, consider donating your stock to the National Urban League to save on two types of taxes while supporting economic empowerment.
