Dear Friend,

We hope this message finds you well and thriving. At the National Urban League, every day we strive to uplift and empower communities, ensuring that every American, regardless of background, has access to essential opportunities and rights.

Isaiah’s story is not just his own—it echoes in the lives of many in our communities of color. After making a pivotal mistake as a youth, he found himself behind bars, a place where dreams fade and the future dims. “I did something impulsive, now I’m paying with my life,” he said. But thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, his story didn’t end there.

Thanks to our Urban Reentry Jobs Program, Isaiah transformed his life. From obtaining his welding certification to starting his dream job, his journey of redemption was possible because you stood with us. His success is our community’s victory, and it’s a poignant reminder of the power of second chances.

As we continue our partnership with the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative, we are scaling new heights—helping more individuals like Isaiah and supporting families towards home ownership. But there’s still much to do, and we need your renewed support. 

We can only continue this vital work with your help, Friend, your role is crucial. Please take a moment to update your contact information and reaffirm your commitment. Keeping our records up-to-date ensures you remain informed about our collective impact and how your contributions are fueling change.

Would you consider renewing your support with a generous and impactful gift today? Every dollar you give empowers someone to step into a new life of possibilities, helping us chip away at the barriers that still stand against equity.

Together, we are a force for change. Thank you for being a crucial part of this journey. Let’s continue to fight for a future where everyone can achieve their full potential.

With gratitude,

Marc H. Morial

President and Chief Executive Officer
