Dear John,
Media and political rhetoric often paint immigrants as threats rather than neighbors, problems rather than possibilities. But you know the truth: behind every fearful headline is a real person with hopes, dreams, and contributions that make our communities stronger. Your support can replace these harmful myths with authentic stories that reflect the America you believe in.
For nearly 20 years, The Opportunity Agenda has proven that storytelling changes hearts and minds. Through research-tested messaging guidance and tools, we've helped advocates transform public dialogue about immigration from crisis to community, from threat to opportunity.
Take our "New York Proud" campaign. With your support, we partnered with the New York Immigration Coalition and F.Y. Eye to showcase powerful immigrant portraits and stories throughout the city's subway stations and public spaces. Because of you, millions of New Yorkers discovered how their immigrant neighbors strengthen our cultural fabric and fuel our economy.

Now, you can expand this impact even further. This Human Rights Day, with your support, we can:
- Bring successful campaigns like "New York Proud" to other major cities
- Equip more advocates with proven narrative tools and training
- Counter harmful myths with authentic stories that unite rather than divide

In shared purpose and hope,
