Hi Friend, The year is now 2023 and Grassroots International is celebrating an important milestone — our 40th anniversary! Four decades of supporting the frontlines of global social movements working to dismantle systems of oppression and advance transformative visions rooted in ancestral wisdom and radical imagination. Thanks to you, we are entering this 40th anniversary year in very strong position, having raised over $2M through our 2022 end-of-year #EachOneOfUs fundraising campaign. We are taking this moment to reflect on and celebrate the incredible movement work we have accompanied, with your support, over the last four decades, and the strong belief in what we can accomplish in the future that your end of year giving reflects. But we also know this is no time to sit back and rest on our laurels. So much is hanging in the balance. So we are also taking this moment to ask ourselves a critical question: What will it take to resource the next generation of grassroots movement leaders in the Global South, for the next 40 years? And what will it take to resource them at a level that will allow them to tip the balance of the world towards love, solidarity, and regeneration — once and for all? To this end, we are encouraging our donors, regardless of age or wealth, to consider making a planned gift to Grassroots International in 2023. A gift for the next generation of movement leaders, and for the work we at Grassroots International are committing to do to support and accompany them. With our expression of our commitment to support them for the long-term, our frontline partners will be bolstered in their efforts to defend sovereignty over land, territory, water, and seeds, and to advance transformative visions for climate justice, healing justice, and grassroots feminisms.
