Dear Friends:
Thank you for standing in solidarity with us as we continue to navigate the impacts of our loss of significant federal funding. It has been gratifying to observe you respond to our calls to action. Our lawmakers -- at the local, state, and federal level -- have taken notice of your outreach. We are also grateful for the ways in which you've extended your support through in-person site visits, making donations, and amplifying the work of the Center overall.
As a result of your support, we will be able to:
Retain our Public Historian through the remainder of the year, and fund their research travel
Compensate artists, educators, faith leaders, West End neighbors, and others for their contributions toward shaping new programs
Design a new exhibition centered on Pauli's humanity, spirituality, and community
This is what grassroots strength and collective care looks like. I am grateful that our community has the courage to be like Pauli: courageous, action-oriented, and hopeful.
