Dear John,

We could use your help...

WV Can't Wait fights for a people's government in West Virginia. We believe that the people who are closest to a problem ought to be trusted to solve it. So, if we want a better future for our state... that means listening to, lifting up, and throwing our weight behind young people. Take a moment right now to nominate a young leader or organization here (you can even nominate yourself)

In just the last year, we have seen young leaders in West Virginia: run and win elected office, achieve cannabis decriminalization in Charleston, break corruption news in Wheeling, open the state's first LGBTQ+-led homeless shelter, launch a support program for incarcerated people, establish feeding and harm reduction programs, start community-based health programs across the state, start cooperative businesses and agriculture programs, fight to put a camping ban on the ballot in Morgantown, and much more.

We want to hear about young people (ages 10-35) and organizations who are: changing lives; acting with bravery; and lifting up the leadership of people who are normally kept out, put down, or criminalized. We will use the information you provide below in three ways: 1) we will offer financial awards ($500-5000) to some of these folks; 2) we will offer other resources (like training, coaching, and safety support) to a larger group; and 3) we will share this information with other donors/funders who support young leaders.

Here again is that nomination link: https://forms.gle/9BL3tUbWx8QfkKHg6. (The deadline is November 12th... but the sooner the better.)

Sincerely,

Stephen Smith

WV Can't Wait Co-Chair
