Dear John xxxxxx,

First, let me share how much I hope that you and yours are safe and well, as together we continue to adapt to and cope with the impact of the pandemic on our lives and families, workplaces and communities, and on our country and the world.

One thing is clear: the importance of our work is laid starkly bare by the spread of COVID-19. Immigrants, people who are incarcerated or detained, people without homes, those among us who live in poverty, and people of color are among the hardest hit by this pandemic, and by the harmful narratives of blame that have accompanied it.

Social justice leaders need the resources to continue speaking up effectively to disrupt these harmful narratives and injustices. Together, we need to tell new stories of how we can be stronger together. Our research, tools, recommendations, and trainings, are crucial resources during this deeply challenging time.

You can help sustain our ability to provide these resources. <[link removed]> We know that everyone has been affected in different ways by this pandemic, and understand that you may not be in a position to make a financial contribution now. If you can, your support is greatly appreciated.

You can also support the work <[link removed]> by engaging in our shared efforts to change the story. View our toolkit for tips and strategies on how to talk about COVID-19. <[link removed]>

Some of the work we launched prior to the outbreak now feels even more relevant:

* Our efforts and partnerships around criminal and racial justice <[link removed]> have positioned us to support effective communications regarding the impact of the disease in prison populations and in communities of color.
* Our new report <[link removed]> on paid family medical leave was released not a moment too soon.
* And our focus over the last two years on building a library of opinion and communications research on immigrant human rights is now a robust resource for immigration advocates at an incredibly crucial moment. <[link removed]>

On behalf of The Opportunity Agenda, I send you best wishes for healthy weathering of the COVID-19 storm. We will continue to be in touch, and we invite you to do the same.

My best,









Ellen Buchman
President
