John,

As we prepare to bring the CDF Freedom Schools® program to children across the country in 2021, we know that the need is extraordinarily high. Still, we’re confident that we have the community, commitment, and momentum to make 2021 a monumental success. John, you can be part of that success.

We have the chance to deliver a CDF Freedom Schools program that has never been more important or necessary.

The past year robbed children of months of learning. It was also a blunt reminder of how deep-seated systemic racism harms children of color and sets them up to disproportionately bear the weight of crises like COVID-19. The families we serve need strong, reaffirming, and empowering academic enrichment, and thanks to your support, we’ll provide it in 2021.

Please join the movement to ensure CDF Freedom Schools can continue this important work in 2021 while scaling up to meet unprecedented demand. Please make a gift to the Children’s Defense Fund today and it will have double the impact in the new year thanks to a generous donor who is matching every gift, dollar-for-dollar.

We’re ready and eager for the year ahead and immensely grateful for your support, which makes it possible.
