An update and a request

Only a few more hours of 5x match [View in Browser]( [Midnight deadline for your 5X Match]( {NAME}, The year is almost over — and so is our final fundraising campaign of 2023. Our team works as hard as they can this time of year so we’ll have enough resources to keep going in 2024. Here’s your update on where things stand: We haven’t reached our goal of raising $250,000 to protect human rights yet. But there’s still time. [On the last night of the year, I’m personally asking, {NAME}...will you chip in before midnight tonight to help us reach our goal? Your gift will be matched 5X to multiply your impact.]( And when the clock strikes midnight, you can ring in the new year knowing that your support will help us get closer to our vision of a better world. [Make your 5X gift]( I’ll be honest — 2023 has been a tough year. Budgets aren’t stretching as far as they used to, and I know families are feeling the pinch. Many people don’t have enough to take care of their own needs and support the causes they care about. Because of that, our resources are running low. So it’s more important than ever that those of us who can support this kind of work do whatever we can. As a completely independent organization, the vast majority of our funding comes from small donations from hardworking people like you who care about human rights. [Will you join our movement by donating to help us reach our fundraising goal?

If you’ve been considering making an end-of-year gift, NOW is the best time to do it. [Whatever amount you’re able to give will be multiplied with our special 5X match.]( Think of it like making a gift in your name — and for four people who can’t afford to give this year. As I look at the year ahead of us, I know that our work and our movement is ever more necessary. Repressive governments are silencing, torturing, and killing people for speaking out. Raging conflicts are putting millions of civilians at risk. And here in the U.S., we continue to push for policies that will end gun violence and get people off of death row. Some days, I feel our world can’t handle another human rights catastrophe. I’m sure you feel it, too. But the support of people like you motivates me to keep going, keep pushing for a world that’s more peaceful and just. And I know that together, our movement of 10 million people can make a meaningful, positive impact in 2024. I hope today you’re enjoying whatever traditions help you ring in the new year with joy and gratitude. For me, it’s a time to reflect on the past 12 months and set intentions for the future. [In the last few hours of the year, I hope you’ll consider making a gift to help us reach our goal. That gift will be matched five times, {NAME}, and it will mean so much.]( When you make a gift to Amnesty, you’re not just hoping or wishing for a better future — you’re actively building it.
