Subject: Horror and hope

John,

Every day, we are witnessing both horror and hope.

We see the cruelty of Donald Trump’s attacks on our rights, the violence, the corruption, the deliberate efforts to strip people of their humanity.

But we also see people peacefully protesting and refusing to give in.

That tension of grief and resilience is where our work lives.

At Emerge, we believe in turning moments of outrage into lasting power. We don’t just react. We train. We build. We prepare women to lead.

And right now, we have a rare opportunity to double down on that mission.

A generous group of donors has activated an 8X match on all grassroots gifts through tomorrow night to ensure we have the resources to continue our mission.

This is how we meet the moment: by turning outrage into action and hope into lasting change.

Thank you for being part of this work. We need you with us.

In solidarity,
A’shanti F. Gholar
President & CEO, Emerge
