United for Peace and Justice has received a $25,000 grant from the craigslist Charitable Fund – one of the few sources of significant funding for truly progressive, anti-war, social justice work. Now we want to challenge all of you to make a donation as a way of thanking the Fund!
Let’s aim to collectively raise $10,000 in the next 8 weeks!
UFPJ needs to be strong and active because the issues we face are huge – conflict throughout the Middle East, the worst refugee crisis since WWII, growing tension in the South China Sea, and a grossly inflated U.S. military budget. Last year UFPJ significantly stepped up its actions – because we were able to hire a part-time organizer. We successfully established communications with 100 local peace and justice groups. During this crucial election year, we must provide resources to insure that peace and anti-militarism are central issues in the campaigns.
We are delighted to be able to share this wonderful news of our recent funding. We hope we can count on you to show the craigslist Charitable Fund that its support for UFPJ activism will truly make a difference in our world.
