Dear Friend,

After these last few years of weathering multiple intersecting crises in relative isolation from one another, we are more sure than ever that none of us can go it alone.

That’s why we’re raising $1M between now and December 31 in support of social movements around the world — grassroots movements that defend land, territory, water, food, seeds, and the earth — for each and every one of us!

Grassroots International plays a vital role connecting these movements — and you — in the fight for a just world. When you give today, you stand with #EachOneOfUs healing each other and the planet together.

We at Grassroots International are feeling so strongly right now the power of togetherness. Togetherness has allowed the MST to beat back violent evictions in Brazil. Togetherness has pushed forward Indigenous and Afro-descendant Hondurans’ calls for justice against a corrupt military state.

The way forward is not the path of individualism that is convenient, and beneficial, to extractive systems of oppression. The way forward is the path of community, of love, and of solidarity. The way forward is with each one of us lifting up each one of us. 

No one person alone can bring about the radical transformation that these times call for. But neither can we afford to have anyone sit on the sidelines and let others shoulder the burden of our collective liberation. 

These times call for everyone to be all in. It is truly going to take #EachOneOfUs 

At this pivotal moment, we are asking each and every one in our community to dig as deeply as you can — into your heart, your conscience, your radical imagination, your capacity for hope — and to give as significant a gift as you can, right now. 

Here are a few things you can do to help ensure our campaign is a success: 

1. Make the most generous end-of-year donation you can.
2. Share the #EachOneofUs video (Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube) with your networks using the hashtag #EachOneOfUs, with encouragement to make an End of Year donation to Grassroots International.
3. Make a short video using your cell phone and send it to us (or you can send a short statement and photo of yourself — just reply to this email). No need to edit it. Here are some prompts for your video, statement, or posts on social media:
   1. "I support Grassroots International because ___________. It will take #EachOneOfUs to _________." 
   2. Grassroots International does not only move funds to frontline organizations. Grassroots International works to build power in alliance with social movements because change will take #EachOneofUs.
   3. I am a supporter of Grassroots International. And you should be one too. Donate today: grassrootsonline.org/each

We are so grateful for your interest in and engagement with our work, and we look forward to walking shoulder to shoulder with you and with our frontline movement partners into the year ahead. Thank you so much for your support and engagement.

With love and solidarity,

The Staff and Board of Grassroots International
