Dear John,
Today, following public attacks on their missions, over 100 philanthropic organizations published an open letter in defense of the non-profit sector, the freedom to give, and the freedom of speech. A closing call from that letter states:
“Now is a moment for leadership that drives unity rather than sows further division.”
At WOLA, we take this call to heart. We work every day to protect rights that belong to everyone, regardless of background, identity, ideology, or geography.
In a moment when political violence and divisive rhetoric threaten the foundations of democracy, WOLA's work is about providing people in positions of power with the analysis they need to make informed, rights-respecting decisions.
WOLA works every day to reach beyond the confines of Washington, DC, and educate, engage, and inspire policymakers and the public. We are working to inform, support, and strengthen a movement grounded in human rights, democracy, and dignity across the Americas.
This is urgent, difficult work–but it is also inspiring because we know we are not alone. Supporters like you make it possible for WOLA to stand firm for human rights and democracy every day.
