Dear Friend,

I am writing today to ask for your help.

Our fiscal year is quickly coming to a close and the American Friends Service Committee is in urgent need of your support. We need to raise $1 million by September 30th. Your loyal support will be greatly appreciated, Friend. Please help us to raise $1 million before this crucial deadline by sending a generous, tax-deductible gift to AFSC today.

Will you help us reach our goal?

We need you to stand up for justice, supporting our work on healing and reconciliation for Native American families whose children were taken from their homes by misguided government programs.

It is hard to believe that as late as the 1970s, welfare services in Maine were shattering Native American families, uprooting young children from their families, their Native culture, and their tribes.

Give today to stand up for justice.

After decades of organizing by AFSC and partners, the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission is right now working to uncover the truth, bringing healing and promoting structural changes within the welfare system.

We need your help to keep programs like these going.

AFSC will continue to support the Commission, and hundreds of projects working for justice around the globe. But we cannot do it without you.

Give today.

In peace,

Shan Cretin
