As we approach the end of 2024, the future of global diplomacy is at a pivotal moment. The work of the Quincy Institute has never been more urgent, and with your continued support, we are poised to make an even greater impact in the year ahead.
Our vision is clear: by the end of 2025, we aim to achieve significant milestones in global peace and diplomacy. We are working tirelessly to prevent war with China by shifting the conversation in Washington and beyond. We are fostering dialogue between Republicans and Democrats, encouraging them to recognize the importance of diplomacy and cooperation with China, rather than confrontation. We are amplifying the voices of those advocating for pragmatic solutions over economic and military escalation.
In Ukraine, we are focused on supporting the administration in negotiating a durable and monitorable end to active hostilities. We are advocating for a legislative environment that allows for negotiations and avoids the pitfalls that could dangerously escalate tensions further. Similarly, we are pushing for broader engagement between Russia and the United States, working toward peace rather than conflict.
We are committed to ensuring that the U.S. does not become entangled in new military conflicts in the Middle East. QI’s Middle East team is working to prevent an open-ended war obligation to Saudi Arabia, and we are using our influence to help de-escalate the ongoing crises in Gaza and Lebanon. Our efforts to support a ceasefire, limit arms sales to Israel, and promote a diplomatic approach with Iran are vital steps toward ensuring a stable and peaceful future in the region.
But we cannot do this work alone. The challenges we face require strong, unwavering support from people like you—dedicated individuals who believe in the power of diplomacy over conflict. As we enter the final few days of 2024, your generous contribution is crucial in helping us reach our goals.
Together, we can create a world where diplomacy, not war, defines the path forward. Will you join us in this effort? Your gift today will help us make the kind of progress that will shape the future for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued support and belief in the power of peace.
With gratitude,
