Dear John,

This year, we’ve seen incredible examples of people coming together to stand up for what is right. People standing in solidarity against racial injustice and economic inequality. Communities taking care of one another in the face of a global pandemic. We have all witnessed how the smallest acts of compassion and support lift us all up and make us safer. And today, thanks to one of our most dedicated partners, I have a special opportunity to share with you: AFSC’s Compassion in Action Matching Gift Challenge.

Make a gift to AFSC between now and November 19, and your contribution will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000,000.

I have been so humbled by the outpouring of support from the AFSC community during this challenging time. Your contributions have made it possible for us to respond quickly to urgent needs — from distributing food and hygiene supplies to defending the rights of immigrants and organizing against racial injustice and militarism.

If enough people like you can make a generous contribution to reach our $1,000,000 goal, AFSC will receive a total of $2,000,000 to invest in community initiatives for peace with justice.

Please take a moment to send your most generous gift to AFSC today to help us reach $1,000,000 — and double your impact.

We have always believed that every person has the right to live in safety and peace and be able to meet basic needs like food, healthcare, and housing. Your support helps us keep this vision at the forefront — during and after this pandemic.

Thank you for supporting our efforts and for all the ways you are helping to make the world a more peaceful and just place for everyone.
