Hi there,
It has been an incredible few months. In addition to hosting a fancy shindig, we've been hard at work making endorsements in DC [[link removed]] , onboarding our new Regional Policy Director [[link removed]] , and organizing fun ways for you to get involved and make a difference.
But first, a huge thank you to everyone who supported our Gala: we raised nearly $60,000! Check out photos from the event here [[link removed]] .
If you couldn't make it, can't wait to see us again, or want to more actively support our work, keep reading to learn how to get involved.
Save the date!
