Dear
Peoples Center Friends,
Now
more than ever we ask you to invest in our future with an end-of-year
gift to the New Haven Peoples Center.
The
Peoples Center's 80th year has been a big one. Phase two of our
restoration project was completed even as we participated in the
growing resistance and organizing in our country for democratic
rights, equality and peace.
The
Peoples Center organized a bus to the Hartford Women's March in
January, held Resistance Thursdays potlucks through the summer,
sponsored a film series in the fall, and participated in public
hearings and actions for many issues including immigrant rights,
health care and peace.
Unions,
Dreamers, educators and neighborhood groups all filled the building
with meetings and events. New Elm City Dream, Free 2 Spit, the Peace
Council, People's World and Unidad Latina en Accion continued to keep
the building in full use.
The
Peoples Center relies on the generous contributions of those who use
and appreciate this vibrant, all-volunteer center for social,
cultural and educational organizing.
The
Peoples Center has invested its commitment and vision to countless
movements and causes. Your gift to the Peoples Center restoration
fund is an investment in return to this precious resource in our
community. We depend
solely on the contributions of friends who share our ideals.
We
hope you consider an end of year gift to this important progressive
institution.
Contributions
are tax deductible and can be made to PERA and mailed to 37 Howe
Street, New Haven Connecticut 06511.
