Dear Friend,

*We need you! *

We are $8,000 away from reaching our goal to make a grant to support the Guatemalan agroecology and political formation training center. We need everyone to pitch in and give whatever you can. *Your gift of $25, $50, $100 or more will have a huge impact! [ [link removed] ]*

The training center will teach Indigenous Peoples and smallholder farmers agricultural methods that are in harmony with nature to restore damaged lands and soils, and will educate them on methods to organize, protect and feed their communities. But it can only succeed if it has the necessary infrastructure and funding to continue operating. We are *crowdsourcing the money needed to make the grant [ [link removed] ]* to our Guatemalan partner who coordinates the school. We need to receive all funds by October 1 to make the grant, so please don't delay.* *Your gift today will go toward:
* Building *classrooms* and infrastructure
* Drilling *water wells*
* Installing *solar panels* for electricity and lighting, as well as security systems
* *Staffing* the school
* Constructing the *women's dormitory*

*This project can only be funded if dedicated activists like you step up to the plate. [ [link removed] ] *

Any donation you can make will have a huge impact for years to come as Indigenous People and smallholder farmers share their knowledge gained at the school with their communities to build powerful grassroots movements.

Thank you for your generosity!

In solidarity,

Chung-Wha Hong
Executive Director

P.S. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work," which is why we need *your gift of $25, $50, $100 or more today [ [link removed] ]*. Together we can reach our goal and make a sizable grant by October 1.
