Dear John,

I want to make sure you didn’t miss Olivia’s very important call-to-action email last week. Over the last several months, CLASP has been working around the clock to effectively develop and advance policy solutions that address both the immediate and long-term economic needs of communities and working families. Our relentless efforts are paying off.

Our ability to double down when it matters, like we did in 2020 and now in 2021, has in a large part been made possible by your sustained and increased support to CLASP. The work is far from over. As we have witnessed, there is an urgent need for transformative systems change to undo centuries of policies that have led to systemic harm to millions of children, working people, youth, immigrants, and communities of color.

Will you join our network of supporters by renewing your 2021 contribution to CLASP now?

While we are proud of the work so far, we know the next few months are crucial if we want to bring about real change in ending poverty and advancing racial equity. Our policy teams are working toward developing a policy framework that centers racial equity to have the greatest impact. Your renewed support is critical to make the work happen.

We are building new coalitions that center equity in their membership, goals, and leadership; working closely with state leaders and the Biden-Harris Administration on accountability for achieving equity goals; deeply engaging with a diverse universe of individuals with lived experiences; and continuing to advocate for short and long-term policy solutions that bring overdue economic relief.

We finally have an opportunity to make real change for our nation, and we need your help. Please renew your 2021 support of CLASP now.

In solidarity,

Akosua Meyers

Director of Development
