Dear Friend, As Grassroots International staff and supporters, you and I know that the radical transformations we and our partners want to bring about in the world are not short-term struggles. They are the work of years, of lifetimes... of multiple lifetimes, even. And those transformations need our collective support. We have committed to walk alongside our partners for as long as it takes to see the work through. This is why we are so grateful to our donors when they make long-term commitments to us — so that we can make long-term commitments to our partners. To this end, we have decided to embark on a radical campaign: to inspire and facilitate the transfer of wealth from older generations — including those who have been allies of Grassroots International for decades — to the young people at the frontlines of struggle1, who are ushering in the future of global social movement organizing. One way we have done this is by partnering with FreeWill, an online platform that allows individuals of all wealth levels to make a free, legally binding will and, in this will, to make a bequest to Grassroots International. As Grassroots International’s 40th anniversary of social movement partnership approaches, we are thinking about how we, as an established organization with a strong base of core, aligned supporters, can proactively resource the next generation of young movement leaders. In celebration of these young movement organizers, will you visit our FreeWill page today, and make a bequest to Grassroots International? Let’s honor the young people who will carry the struggle forward for decades to come! |
