John,

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, you have seen the tragic reports from leaders in immigrant communities and communities of color. We are all mourning the horrific loss of life and livelihoods and grappling with an uncertain future.

But in the midst of so much heartache, there have also been unbelievable acts of service from New Americans, immigrants, people of color, and allies. Our NALpista elected officials and alumni have been tireless advocates working to get resources to frontline workers, fight anti-Asian hate, advocate for those in ICE detention centers, and secure funding to help people like us rebuild.

Their leadership is why we are reaching out today to ask for your support of New American Leaders on #GivingTuesdayNow. [[link removed]]

This pandemic has laid bare the myth that everyone gets a fair shot in America. We know that if you want to live in a country where all Americans are protected and included, we need your help to elect a new kind of leader—inclusive leaders who fight for us, not against us.

With your help, we can make sure that #PeopleLikeUs provide the creativity, compassion, and solutions to navigate us out of this pandemic.
