John,
We appreciate you reading our emails this past month and wanted to update you - we surpassed our $15k goal! We've raised over $23,000!
My name is Michél Legendre, and as Power Shift Network’s board chair, I am extra grateful for any support of PSN and its member organizations. The youth movement is stronger because when people like you move resources to support the seeds, trees, and roots of this movement.
The ecosystem of youth-led organizing, I believe, is critical towards advancing the world I know so many of us believe is possible. From stepping up to support their communities with mutual aid efforts, to lending their ear to the grassroots to learn what’s needed to transform the broader justice movement(s), to digging in their heels to fight at the intersections of injustice across movements, the youth movement is stronger than ever AND needs support more than ever.
All of this in the backdrop of an ongoing pandemic, multiple attacks on the communities we hold dear, and very present climate apocalypse. But like every era before it, John,this one will only be survived with radical love, critical action rooted in justice and equity, and a community committed to the survival of one another. This is our moment to voice our loudest NO to the status quo and say resoundingly, ‘YES!’ to the beauty I see being crafted everyday by PSN staff, network members, and our ecosystems of movement partners and supporters.
Even if you weren’t able to donate this time, we are always accepting whatever support you’re able to contribute because we can’t do this work without you.
With gratitude and in solidarity,
Michél (he/him), Board Chair at PSN
