It's the kind of headline that stops you in your tracks, John:
It breaks my heart and fills me with rage that this is what our country stands for right now.
Tens of thousands of children detained, effectively kidnapped by the government, unable to brush their teeth, sexually abused...those six little ones who died, all in U.S. custody.
We are living in a historic moment that future generations of Americans will look back on with shame, where even vulnerable children are not safe from Trump's dark vision of America.
If left unchecked, it is clear this cruelty will grow even worse. But people of conscience have the power to force change. For us at NDWA it's simple: we fight.
Today is Giving Tuesday, the start of giving season, and it's critical we meet our goals. What happens today and in the next few weeks will determine so much of what we're able to do in 2020. We need some more fighters with us right now. Are you in?
Make a Giving Tuesday gift of $12 to stand up for our values. Today it goes 2x as far thanks to a generous donor.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
Your Giving Tuesday donation to NDWA is more than a gift you make today: it's an act of hope and a commitment to building a different future.
Growing our movement takes power away from Trump and his cronies and puts it in the hands of women of color pushing for a more just world. Here's how:
-
Direct support: From rushing relief supplies to families at the border to training, workshops, and legal advice for domestic workers, NDWA's programs put resources and tools where they can make an immediate impact.
-
Organizing, Organizing, Organizing: We proudly stand on the shoulders of an incredible tradition of women of color organizing inspired by domestic workers challenging Jim Crow racial discrimination in the '40s, to build power that has already changed laws in 9 states and 2 cities.
-
Changing the debate: We win by telling stories that humanize the people Trump wants to demonize: immigrants, people of color, women, and low-paid workers. We REFUSE to accept a narrative that says some of us should be targeted simply for who we are.
Trump, big business, racist and sexist employers...they have shown us who they are. We will read more and more horrifying headlines until those of us who believe in the dignity of all people are powerful enough to stop them.
We are on the way. Your Giving Tuesday donation gets us closer.
I know that today there are a lot of causes and organizations asking for your attention and your support. Thank you for being a part of lasting change, today and beyond.
