You are America

Dear The,

You are America.

The Obama Presidential Center will have those very words inscribed on its walls. And next year, the Center will open as a home for everyone who fights to improve our communities everyday–from President Obama, to our network of global changemakers, to you!

Please, become one of the 1,500 early supporters we need to support the Obama Presidential Center and all of The Foundation’s work with a gift $25 or more today. We cannot do it without you, and your donation will make you a part of this historic institution.

We selected those words from an excerpt of President Obama’s speech honoring the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches. The President has described this speech as one of his most meaningful because it best captures the need for each generation to take up the baton and advance the work of those who came before.

That idea is central to the mission of The Obama Foundation, where we seek to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation of global leaders.

The words on the exterior serve not just as an homage to the past, but as a call to action for today. We hope that visitors to the Obama Presidential Center leave feeling inspired to continue the work of those who came before us.

And that is the core vision of The Obama Foundation. Every one of us has the amazing power to improve our communities for ourselves, our loved ones, and for generations to come. That’s why The Obama Foundation works to empower our world’s future leaders through scholarships, training, and networking.

That is the future you will help make a reality by donating $25 or more by tonight’s deadline. Your generous support for our mission will be remembered.

We hope you will join us in carrying the legacy on for future generations.

Sincerely,

The Obama Foundation
