Dear Friend,

I write to you ahead of Giving Tuesday. We are at a critical moment -- new technologies have allowed the creation of the world’s first gene-edited babies, while artificial intelligence has emerged as a force that can read our emotions and manipulate our choices. The aging crisis has accelerated, with the number of Americans with dementia set to double in the next 20 years. Inequality is stretching our society to the breaking point. Trust in institutions and civility in public discourse are at new lows.

The Hastings Center is working on these issues. But we need your help.

We are not part of a university, medical school, or any other organization, and we are fiercely proud of our independence. This unique status allows us to raise questions that would otherwise remain unspoken and to convene stakeholders who otherwise would never come together. But it also means we need the help of committed, caring people like you.

This holiday season, please consider a gift.

We depend on you.

Mildred Z. Solomon, EdD
President, The Hastings Center
