Friends,
You've supported FOR in the past with your contributions and we're very thankful. Can we count on you again in 2015?
It's the last day of the year, and I suspect your inbox is stuffed with charitable requests. So I'll keep this short:

FOR Bayard Rustin Fellow Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, with Cornel West in the background, leading a march in St. Louis in August -- as featured on the front page of The New York Times the following day.

First, thank you for all your work in 2015. We've celebrated a lot of successes this year -- the launch of the Campus Weekends nonviolence training program for student activists; deep support of the Black Lives Matter Movement in Ferguson, Minneapolis, and elsewhere; and a series of historic events marking a century of FOR-USA's multifaith work for peace and justice through nonviolence.
Let me be clear that we are celebrating these successes because of your work -- your support: on the ground, in prayer, and with financial contributions.
And speaking of financial contributions, we would gratefully receive yours before midnight tonight.
Remember, if you make your tax-deductible donation by midnight tonight:
- A donation of $35 or more will get you peace postcards
- A donation of $50 or more and you'll receive a year's subscription to FOR's magazine Fellowship
- A donation of $100 will get you a CD of brand new music from the racial justice movement by Rev. Sekou and the band
- Donate $175 or more, and you'll get Rev. Sekou's album plus a CD of songs by Bayard Rustin himself
- If you're not able to make donations at that level this year, we even have gifts for donations of $15 or even $5 -- every amount helps!
⏳But time is running out.
These gift offers expire at midnight TONIGHT, so if you're going to make a donation, now is the time!
Thank you again, and here's to a bright 2016!
 Linda E. Kelly
Director of Communications
Fellowship of Reconciliation
