Dear John,

Each year around this time, we ask caring supporters like you to make an annual gift to AFSC. Our goal is for 500 people to give this month to keep us on track -- and so far more than 150 people have answered our call! Will you make a gift today and help us meet our goal?

Here are just a few reasons to say yes:

Everyone should be able to meet basic needs. Your gift funds mutual aid efforts in communities worldwide. It also helps us call for elected officials to appropriately prioritize and address urgent community needs like dignified housing, education, unemployment assistance, health care, and a clean environment for all.

The human rights of asylum seekers, refugees, and all people should be respected. In the U.S. and other countries, those fleeing violence, poverty, and climate disruption have been unfairly demonized and subjected to harsh interrogation procedures, family separation, and other abuses. Your gift helps us support migrant and immigrant-led advocacy efforts for a humane and systemic change.

Incarceration doesn't keep us safe. Taxpayers in the U.S. spend about $80 billion annually keeping people in cages, diverting funds from essential services and community-led programs that better prevent harm. Your gift helps us advocate for public investment in things that actually reduce crime, such as education and economic opportunities.

We need global solutions so we can all live together on this planet. To resolve serious issues like climate change, authoritarianism, public health crises, and unprecedented migration, the U.S. and other governments need to invest more in relationships and reduce military spending. Your gift helps us build a road to peace with community partners in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, as well as the United Nations.

AFSC supporters like yourself play a critical role in supporting our work in communities worldwide. If this finds you in a time of hardship, please know that we understand. But if you can, please make a gift today for 2021 to help bring about a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.
