Dear John,

The Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund has pledged $100,000 in matching funds through Giving Tuesday. Every gift you make will be DOUBLED ([link removed]) .

This is what democracy looks like:

After winning Hawaiʻi's historic climate settlement, Navahine plaintiff Rylee Brooke didn't stop. She joined the Youth Transportation Council, planted native ʻilima in courthouse soil, and now shapes her state's infrastructure decisions. "The settlement was only the beginning," she says. "Real change comes from sustained effort."

Democracy isn't inherited—it's practiced. It's Rylee Brooke rebuilding transportation systems in Hawaiʻi. It's Joseph testifying in federal court in Montana, sharing his health struggles and love for the outdoors. It's Delaney in Florida speaking out to save the places she grew up loving from rising seas and extreme hurricanes.

YOUTH AREN’T JUST TOMORROW’S LEADERS

— THEY’RE DEMOCRACY’S PULSE TODAY.

From Hawaiʻi to Florida, California to Canada, young people are refusing to accept systems that violate their fundamental rights. Democracy survives when young voices refuse to accept a broken system—and we must join them.

Your gift—DOUBLED through Giving Tuesday—powers legal expertise, trauma-informed support, youth leadership opportunities, and strategic communications that amplify these voices around the world.
DONATE NOW - YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED ([link removed])

Right now, it’s hard. But defense doesn't win—offense does. Stand with youth keeping democracy's heart beating strong.

With fierce determination and hope,

The team at Our Children’s Trust
