Dear John,

We are about halfway through our Annual Fund drive – and we are so grateful to the many people who have answered our call! To stay on track for our 2021 fundraising, we need to raise $80,000 by June 30. Your past support has made all the difference in these times of pandemic. Could you pitch in again this year to help us meet our goal? 

Your gift will help us:

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.

Stand up for the human rights of all people, including asylum seekers and refugees. In the U.S. and other countries, those fleeing violence, poverty, and climate disruption have been 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.  

Promote new approaches to community safety. Taxpayers in the U.S. spend about $81 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. 

Build 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 are at the heart of all we do. If you can, please make a gift today to fund our work for a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.

Thank you for supporting our work!
