"We need not despair because we seem to fail or cannot see the fruition of our efforts on behalf of others. If we build with love and compassion, we can build with hope."
- The Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray
Dear friends,
We are heartened by the clear support of community members like you, in response to the ongoing impacts of federal censorship to the Pauli Murray Center. This summer, we will continue to “build with hope” as we work towards a $50,000 goal to sustain our work. Gifts of all sizes contribute to continual impact.
What does building with hope look like at the Pauli Murray Center?
$25 can provide discounted and free field trips for local K-12 Schools
$50 supports new collaborations with marginalized artists and creatives
$100 makes a new animated series about Pauli Murray for school-age children more publicly accessible
$500 protects our continued collaboration with the North Carolina Bar Association for Name and Gender Marker Change clinics
$1,000 can help sustain our Social Justice Teaching Fellowship and Firebrand Internship programs
Thanks to the generosity of Susan & Michael Hersfield, we’re also excited to share that gifts made to the Pauli Murray Center by July 31st will be matched 1:1 up to $30,000. Every donation – large or small – creates a significant impact.
In the spirit of Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, we move forward with strength, compassion and most importantly…hope.
Angela Thorpe Mason
Executive Director
