WESPAC 2020 Membership Appeal

August 2020

Dear WESPAC Members, Friends and Supporters,

We hope this letter finds each and every one of you as well as possible in these very challenging times. This correspondence is WESPAC’s annual membership renewal and sign-on. Your response to this letter is one of our most important connections to current and future members, and a crucial source of support for the justice and peace work we do together. Membership is more than a one-time donation; it implies ongoing support and dedication to our cause and work.

Together, we have supported WESPAC through its 46th anniversary! Inspired by our rich history, and proud of our nurturing role, WESPAC continues to serve a unique role as a hub for progressive organizing in Westchester County. We connect people with each other, support a wide range of campaigns and strengthen movement building locally by developing long term relationships with grassroots leaders, workers and environmental groups.

We have been educating, agitating and organizing for a more just and peaceful world, an end to militarism and racism and a more fair economy that works for all. Our members are currently involved with criminal justice reform and police accountability, food justice work, fair housing, climate justice and safe renewable energy, immigrant protection, solidarity with Indigenous Peoples, an end to militarism and drone warfare and the struggle for justice, equal rights and human dignity for all the inhabitants of Israel/Palestine.

Dues that sustain our work are $100 per person annually, or $50 for students and persons with a fixed income. If you are able to do so at this time, please renew or sign up for your membership now by mailing your check to WESPAC Foundation, 77 Tarrytown Road, Suite 2W, White Plains, NY 10607. You may also make your online secure contribution here: donorbox.org/wespac-membership-dues

We are grateful for all levels of support and no one is turned away for lack of funds. Volunteer hours are welcome in lieu of payment and can be arranged with the office (914-449-6514). We look forward to seeing you virtually at our October Annual Meeting of Members (details to follow in September).

Thank you all so very much. Contributions in any amount are crucial, sustain us and are always deeply appreciated.
