Before midnight tonight, please consider giving a tax-deductible gift to
Sojourners. Your gift will provide crucial support to our truth-telling,
justice-seeking, and community-building work through 2021 and beyond.
None of our work this year would have been possible without sojourners like you
by our side. Please consider donating to Sojourners before midnight tonight to
take your support a step further.

Sojourners is not just a magazine, online publication, and advocacy
organization, but a community, rooted not in individualism, but in love for each
other. I have referred in the past to the philosophy and moral belief system of ubuntu , or "I am because we are." This focus on community – this critical antidote to
the radical individualism, politics of division, and hyper-selfishness that
threatens much of the nation today – is at the heart of both Sojourners mission
and my purpose statement.
Spreading ubuntu and building beloved community in our nation and world will be a priority for
me and for Sojourners in the coming year. With your annual gift today, you will
shoring up the support we need for our bold plans in 2021, supporting all of our
community-centered work, including:
* Growing and nurturing our print and digital audience — our foundation as an
organization — to help our nation recover and heal from a difficult year;
* Deepening our advocacy impact and relationships in the incoming
administration, so as to be a more effective and faithful voice for justice
where that voice needs to be heard, including around issues of racial
justice, immigration rights, poverty, and climate justice;
* Implementing a sustainable model for equipping and resourcing churches in
2021 and beyond;
* Growing our international connections and partnerships;
* Leaning fully into our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and anti-racism work,
internally and externally, because we cannot build a more just and equitable
future if we are not also making those same commitments internally;
* Continuing to grow and expand our coverage, including launching a weekly
podcast.
In the coming year, we will not cease speaking truth to power with Congress and
the new administration. We will need to speak truth to politicians who continue
to embrace the politics of division and obstruction. And we will need to speak
that truth in a spirit of steadfast love – because love is the only force
capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
In the spirit of love, and of ubuntu , let us continue together into 2021, allowing hope, courage, and faith to
guide us. Thank you in advance for your gift to our shared mission.
