Dear John,

Lately, we have all had some experience with sudden, fundamental change in our lives. But what if there was a fundamental change in our society that led to a new reality for women and girls everywhere?

Here's something I know. If change doesn't begin today and if it doesn't begin with me and you, then change will never happen. Each of us is accountable for what we do to bring about the future in which we want to exist.

You can help to bring about that future by joining our June Matching Gift Challenge. Although many things feel extremely uncertain right now, we must act together in times like this to achieve the vision of the future that we collectively hold. At the Ms. Foundation, that means we must continue to fight for justice and equality for all women including reproductive rights, job security, healthcare, childcare and so much more.

I believe that the possibility of gender and racial equity is in our hands if we accept the challenge to listen and act, everyday. Will you accept our invitation to double your gift today during our June Matching Gift Challenge?

When the ground shifts under our feet, the Ms. Foundation for Women is here to ensure that women and girls will have the opportunity to achieve their greatest potential. Our grantee-partners, including EveryBlackGirl in South Carolina and Women with a Vision in Louisiana, are making sure that these are not empty words. Please join the Ms. Foundation in supporting these organizations and many others making a difference where it matters most by making the most generous gift you can right now.

Your dollars will be doubled and, in the hands of these leaders, the impact will be exponential.

Yours in solidarity,

Teresa C. Younger
President and CEO, Ms. Foundation for Women
