Hi John,

Wow, we’re only a couple weeks away from 2022. *Deep Breath*

Gratitude is a practice of mine I am always returning to, especially around transitions-- beginnings and ends.

So, thank you.

For committing to yourself and the ways you’ll benefit from a world where everyone has enough.

For signing and following through on your Redistribution Pledge.

For joining or renewing as a dues-paying member, claiming this organization, and committing to collective action and accountability.

For supporting and resourcing our partners: the Center for Popular Democracy and the Movement for Black Lives.

If you didn’t get to any of those, I still thank you for receiving the invitation, for spending some time considering Resource Generation.

And, I’m going to ask once more, because our movements deserve that.

Will you, this week, check off this list:

Get current with my RG dues
Sign the redistribution pledge
Send in my year-end redistribution to CPD, M4BL, and any other orgs

And if you’re like me, sometimes even when you want to do something it can be hard to remember. Take a moment right now to check off this list, or take a moment to add an event or reminder to your calendar for a time in the next few days you expect you’ll be able to be present to them.

As of this morning, we have:

1185 members, 282 are new this year (welcome to RG!)
784 have signed the Redistribution Pledge
Together we pledged $91.6M+ to Movements for Social Justice (so far) in 2021

That’s the power of this community, power we are leveraging every day for the world everyone deserves.

I’m not going to lie, I’m really looking forward to a break and reset at the end of this year, and am so grateful to be able to do so. But even before my break has started, I can already feel the seeds of anticipation and excitement for what we’ll do together in the new year.

I look forward to continuing to be in community with you. May the New Year bring the change we all seek.

With gratitude,

Yahya Alazrak

Executive Director
