Dear John,
Can you imagine spending your entire life living on a dirt floor, toiling over meager crops, hoping there will be enough rain through the dry season to sustain your family? Moving is not an option as no other place will welcome you, except perhaps with violence.
In these same circumstances, people often are denied the most basic access to their governments and justice systems. In many cases, they don’t even have the right to vote. There are no laws protecting their rights as humans.
But you can change this. By making a gift today, you can empower some of the world’s most vulnerable people with the tools and knowledge to shape their own futures.
With a gift now, you will contribute to peace in more ways than you may imagine. Everything you see here strengthens citizens’ sense of inclusion and their country’s commitment to justice.

| It might be a Tunisian woman casting a ballot for the first time … |
 |
|
| A Carter Center-trained magistrate assuring even the most rural citizens that the legal system is there for them … |
 |
|
| Or, a community justice advisor helping a Liberian street vendor navigate her legal system to escape domestic abuse. |
 |

In each of these situations and many others, your generosity creates the conditions necessary for peace. By supporting our efforts so generously, you will strengthen every aspect of peace, including fair and honest elections, access to information and the legal system, the fair rule of law, recognition of human rights for everyone, and the education and treatment required to attain good health. You will bring a sense of hope to people in the world who need it most.
John, when the most marginalized people in the world gain equal rights and a say in their future, our small planet gains hope for lasting peace. Thank you for partnering with The Carter Center in this important work.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
Co-Founder and Trustee
