Dear Glenn,

 

2024 – WHAT A YEAR! And we’re still only in May! This is a quick reminder that you should have received your Spring Appeal letter in the mail in April. We so appreciate your past support of WILPF, and we just want to remind you that your support is still crucial for us in this monumental year- 2024!

 

WILPF Needs Your Support — Now More Than Ever!

Donate now!

As we approach WILPF’s 110th Anniversary, consider honoring our beloved herstorical peace organization, by giving a one-time donation of $110, or better yet, become a monthly donor at $10. Recurring donations really help us ensure our sustainability, following the model of other nonprofits like PBS and UNICEF. 

 

Although 2024 presents unprecedented challenges, WILPF members are taking action across the US!

 

  • Speaking out for a ceasefire in Gaza, joining advocacy and protests.
  • Mobilizing on 1/22/24 to mark the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons' third anniversary.
  • Advocating for refugees and immigrants, including branches in Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
  • Participating in the UN Commission on the Status of Women and empowering young women activists.

 

Remember Libby Frank’s memoir: Life of Libby?  FYI, we did have more than ten lucky $110 donors for the complimentary copies of the book, but you can still buy copies from Amazon: HERE. And remember to join us TODAY for the zoom presentation about Libby Frank and the book, featuring an interview with co-author, Heather Shafter. Register here and see yesterday’s eAlert for more details!


Reminder: You can still register for the WILPF US Triennial Congress! Wednesday, May 29, through Sunday, June 2

Please join us at the Congress for presentations, workshops, informal sessions, and more! Members, friends, allies, and all – It’s only $75 For the full virtual 35th Triennial WILPF US Congress. For full information and registration, go here.

In love, gratitude, and solidarity,
