Friend,

Giving Tuesday may be a week away, but I’m asking you to help AU get a jump on this global day of giving. Come January, we are up against a new Congress and the same Supreme Court backed by a Christian nationalist shadow network, driven to enact an extreme, anti-democratic and dangerous agenda. To meet this moment and protect church-state separation, we need this to be our biggest fundraising campaign ever. 

Will you be among the first to make a donation and help AU meet our $50,000 goal with an early Giving Tuesday gift? Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar.

For too long Americans have taken the separation of church and state for granted. Now, we are getting a real-world lesson in what it’s like to live in a country without that crucial protection.

We need a national recommitment to the separation of church and state. It is the shield that protects religious freedom and so many other issues we care about – reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, public education, racial justice and much more. The only way AU can fight back is with your help.

That’s why an especially motivated group of your fellow donors has come together to make your support go further. They will match whatever you can give to our Giving Tuesday campaign, up to $50,000. Your gift will have twice the impact. 

Why wait, Friend? Have your tax-deductible Giving Tuesday gift matched early when you contribute to our work RIGHT NOW.

This week, as we recognize all that we're thankful for, your generous support for our cause is high on my list. We absolutely couldn't do it without you! It’s never been more important to invest in our values, and we deeply appreciate your loyalty.

With hope and determination,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO

P.S. There are several ways to include Americans United in your end-of-year giving. If you have appreciated stocks, you can donate them directly to AU. This allows you to take a tax deduction for the full amount of your stock, and avoid the capital gains tax. Use this online tool to make your stock donation today, or learn more about the benefits.

*Online contributions will be matched through Nov. 29, 2022, up to a limit of $50,000. All gifts made in excess of this limit will still provide valuable funding for AU’s efforts to defend church-state separation.
