Subject: 40 Years Down, Invest in 40 More

Dear ICAH Family,

We are all, at different points in time, called to be revolutionaries. When a situation requires dramatic change, we sometimes find ourselves in the position to catalyze it. Maybe that happened for you during a recent meeting, or maybe the opportunity arose at the dinner table with your family. Perhaps you stepped up as a revolutionary in the past few months to support a cause you believe in. Here at ICAH, we celebrate diverse and intersecting uprisings because we know that individual actions create revolutionary movements. The momentum we gain from stepping up in our daily lives eventually leads to change in our homes, neighborhoods, cities, nations, and our world.

ICAH’s 40th Anniversary marks a significant point in history for everyday revolutionaries like you. It’s proof that your actions–your everyday efforts–are igniting young people and their communities. Because of you, ICAH reached 4,000 young people and allied adults this year. We delivered comprehensive sexuality education in 46 schools and organizations across 31 communities. We engaged over 1,000 people in participatory performances and workshops. Considering the ripple effects of our work, the result of your support is immeasurable.

We’re on track to surpass that reach next year. Whether your gift is $1,000, $100, or $10, you’re helping ICAH accomplish its mission to build a better world where youth are safe, affirmed, and healthy. Your investment is critical to our programs, and we apply it with exacting responsibility. You can make your donation here. Thank you for taking the time to step into the shoes of revolutionaries who came before us and those who stand among us today.

I greatly appreciate your generosity. Here’s to another 40 years of solidarity.
