There are just a few hours left until 3pm EST today, the cut-off point in our effort to win $1000 for the Afghan Women's Survival Fund as part of the "America's Giving Challenge" on Facebook. We've been mobilizing all of our friends and allies to help us get the word out there--and you can help us! The message below from Vivian Stromberg, our Executive Director, has more information. Thank you!
MADRE has entered "America's Giving Challenge," an online contest, for a chance to win $50,000 for our Afghan Women's Survival Fund. During the next few weeks, the group with the highest number of individual donations wins.
We were already excited for this chance to raise support for a critical program to save women's lives and defend their human rights. And then we saw our competition. Right now, an anti-choice project ("Make Abortion UNTHINKABLE") is poised to win. In a single week, over 300 people have made donations to a group whose goal is to destroy women's right to reproductive choice. We can't let them win.
Today is a crucial day in the contest. From 3pm EST Wednesday until 3pm EST Thursday, the group that receives the most individual donations wins $1,000. And we just learned that the anti-choice group is trying to win today's competition too.
So we need your help!
Donate $10. Ask you friends, family and coworkers to donate $10. With your help, we can prove just how important women's rights are, both in the United States and around the world.
How can you help?
1. Donate $10 and join the cause.
2. Invite as many friends as possible to donate $10 and join the cause.
3. Post a message on Facebook letting people know.
4. Are you on Twitter? Send out a tweet about the cause. Copy this url to retweet what we said:
