Dear John,

If you are reeling from the events of the past week, you are not alone. The murder of George Floyd at the hands of police echoes those of Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland – and countless others who did not make headlines. These are not isolated incidents. They are the result of a racist system that can and must be dismantled.  

AFSC works with young people in Minneapolis and St. Paul who are leading the charge to undo institutional racism. Will you join me in making a gift to support them today?

AFSC’s programs in the Twin Cities support anti-racist youth organizing, restorative practices, and coalition-building. They also help build the capacity of youth, educators, and community members to have intentional conversations about race, racism, and institutions – conversations that are sorely needed now.

If it is within your means, please make a gift today to support young people working for justice in the Twin Cities. 

A more just, equitable future is possible. Thank you for being part of making it happen through your gifts to AFSC.
