Dear Friend, The Urban League Movement is stronger than we have ever been – serving nearly four million people this year through our work as economic first responders. But our fight is far from over. Given the threats on Black Americans, the challenges our communities face today, and the blatant attacks on democracy, more people need our help than ever. However, giving has been off this year – and in these final days of 2024, we urgently need to make up ground to forge ahead in the New Year. Throughout 2024, our D3 agenda has been our guiding force in the fight for civil rights and social justice. As economic first responders across 36 states and 300 communities, we've been: - Defending Democracy through our Reclaim Your Vote initiative, reaching millions who might have been disenfranchised
- Demanding Diversity by holding corporations accountable and fighting for inclusive policies
- Defeating Poverty by creating pathways to good-paying jobs and homeownership
Your year-end gift will position us to enter 2025 with purpose and power, helping people who come through our affiliate doors looking for hope. And they find it – receiving customized, personalized, life-changing services, FREE of charge. People like: - Ameera, who needs help accessing healthcare for her special needs son
- Kobi, a first-time father searching for a better job with benefits
- Elda, who wants to keep her apartment and not go into a nursing home
- Nala, a talented young artist who dreams of attending college
First job, first home, first generation to attend college – these are life-changing firsts that transform lives. One person at a time, you help communities grow, change, and strengthen. This is the triumph of collective power, collective will, determination, and commitment. In 2025, with your support mission as we continue to: - Push for passage of critical voting rights legislation
- Hold corporations accountable for their DEI commitments
- Fight for living wages indexed to inflation
- Create down payment assistance programs
- Restore tax credits that benefit lower-income families
