Dear Soulforce,
This year we’ve shed oceans of tears—of pain, frustration, fear, courage, laughter, gratitude, and grief. We celebrated trans baptisms and queer weddings, had hard conversations about the traumas we carry in our bodies, and attended memorial services, protests, and workshops. Together with activists from around the world, we strategized on how to make life more possible in the midst of so many ongoing tragedies.
For many of us, these times feel apocalyptic, and it is easy to lose heart when hope feels like folly. But our tears help us remember our humanity. It is said that human beings are the only species that cries emotional tears. As infants, we cry for help. But as adults, our vulnerability is harder to admit. Our tears honor life’s tenderness and remind us what is important.
At Soulforce, healing our communities from the wounds of weaponized religion is not just an abstract dream, but something we do every day. I can’t tell you how many people come back to us years later with stories of how Soulforce changed their lives, how it saved their lives. This work is so important and we can only do it with your support. As we prepare for the journey ahead, your commitment is more crucial than ever. I invite you to join us in creating waves of change by donating today.
The world we dream of and fight for is real. We are co-creating it every single day. Your generosity makes it possible, and we are grateful for your commitment to this life-saving work.
With hearts ablaze and spirits unyielding,
Alba Onofrio
Executive Director
