Facing Challenges Head-On: Join Our Movement
One thing is clear: our work is far from over, and the challenges facing our neighbors and our democracy are significant.
At Americans of Conscience Checklist (AoCC), we are committed to empowering citizens to take action. From expanding voting rights and restoring reproductive care, to addressing pervasive inequalities, our mission is to equip concerned Americans with tools that make a difference.
Since 2016, our subscribers have taken over 100,000 actions to expand democracy and equality in the U.S. During this year’s election season, we coordinated our first collaborative postcarding campaign, encouraging nearly 10,000 rural Black voters to vote. In the face of continued divisive leadership—we provide clear, compassionate and effective strategies so that tens of thousands Americans can make an impact.
In honor of National Philanthropy Day, we’re asking you to support our November campaign goal of funding our modest monthly operations.
Here’s why our supporters contribute to AoCC:
“Americans of Conscience Checklist offers actionable steps that empower me to be an active participant in democracy, no matter the political climate.”
“In times of uncertainty, AoCC provides clarity and hope, reminding us that our voices matter and that change is possible.”
“Joining AoCC connects me with a network of passionate individuals who are committed to making a difference, amplifying our collective impact.”
Rather than fund our operations with advertising, we annually ask you, our subscribers, to give a small amount monthly to reach our monthly operating budget of $4000.
We’re just a little shy of our goal of full funding this year. Help us continue to motivate Americans from awareness to action for justice, equality, and democracy. Together, we create a better future.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Jennifer Hofmann
