Dear Friend, Unemployed. Receiving SNAP benefits. Living in Section 8 housing. When Sarah came to an Urban League affiliate, she was in dire need of a job. Thanks to the generous support of friends like you, Sarah was given access to: • One-on-one career coaching • Resume assistance • Financial planning • Online job search • Hiring events • Supportive services After joining a hiring event we encouraged her to attend, Sarah left employed! “I had been unemployed for three years and having trouble finding work, but with the help of the Urban League, I have a new job I enjoy and can care for my children.” With just three days remaining until the New Year, I need to remind you that individuals like Sarah are counting on you to provide equal access to opportunities that unleash Black potential. NOW is the moment to uplift Black America by making your tax-deductible gift. The Urban League Movement has risen to face the ongoing challenges wrought by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, and continued attacks on civil and human rights – but we need YOU to continue the fight. Your gifts allow us to act with urgency as the nation’s economic first responders, empowering eager individuals like Sarah with access to the assistance they need to thrive. Please choose this charitable season to uplift Black and Brown communities. You can make a lasting difference. Sincerely, Marc H. Morial President and Chief Executive Officer |
