Dear Friends:
At the end of this particularly difficult year, we want to take a minute
to thank you for your efforts to build a more peaceful and just world.
Now more than ever it is critical that people of conscience stand up for
democracy, justice and peace, and we are grateful that you continue to
respond to the alerts and updates that we send over our e-mail
list-serves.
Of course, preparing the news updates, in-depth analyses and action
alerts you have received on our list-serve this year takes both time and
resources. Global Exchange’s members provide the financial support that
allows our programs to keep fighting the good fight, day in and day out.
If you are not already a Global Exchange member, we ask that you become
one today. Our members receive our quarterly newsletter, priority
consideration on our educational delegations, and discounts at our Fair
Trade stores. Most important, by becoming a member of Global Exchange
you become more closely connected to the growing grassroots
globalization movement.
To make membership gift to Global Exchange, visit our web-site at
http://store.globalexchange.org/globalexchange/joinus.html or mail a
gift to our offices (2017 Mission Street, #303, San Francisco, CA
94110). Please feel free to contact our membership coordinator, Mary, at
800-497-1994 x 246 or mary@globalexchange.org with any questions.
We’re also asking today that you keep up your efforts during the holiday
season. As our supporters in US well know, Congress is out of session
until mid-January, and that means that Members of Congress will be back
home—an excellent opportunity to connect with your elected officials and
communicate your views to them. Call your representatives’ offices today
and ask them if any town hall meetings are scheduled for the winter
break. If so, take the time to attend one and make your voice heard.
For those of you who live outside the US, we ask that you, too, take the
time to contact your elected officials at the beginning of the new year.
Democracy is a process that requires continuous citizen participation if
it is to work properly. Only your activism secures your rights.
Thank you again for your continued support. Best wishes for the coming
year.
In peace,
The Staff of Global Exchange
