Friend, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re able to celebrate this day of gratitude with your loved ones. As we bring this year to a close, I want to recognize YOU and all of your fellow dedicated Population Connection supporters. You have given your time, resources, and attention to our work throughout this year. Stabilizing global population is a long-term effort, and I appreciate your steadfast support. So, from all of us at Population Connection, thank you! Because of you, this year, we: -
Recruited new activists to become “Abortion Defenders” after the disastrous Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Hundreds of new activists stood up for abortion rights through rallying, attending trainings, and more.
-
Engaged thousands of students in grades 6-12 from 48 countries and 45 U.S. states and territories with our World of 7 Billion Student Video Contest. You can see the winning videos here! In September, we rolled out the World of 8 Billion contest for the 2022–2023 school year.
-
Brought together over 1,000 Population Connection members and supporters for virtual events throughout the year. Our third all-virtual Earth Day brought together over 350 members and supporters joining us for at least one of four virtual events during the month of April alone!
-
Provided 70 virtual presentations to college classrooms and community groups on topics relating to population, health, and the environment (PHE).
You made all of this—and more!—possible. I hope you have a joyous holiday season. We’re so grateful to you, on this day and every day. Warm regards, |
