The hope we need right now

The —

This Giving Tuesday, I’m reflecting on the work The Obama Foundation has been doing to bring about change around the world.

And I want to share what gives me hope during moments like these.

Right now, with democratic ideals under assault around the world, we need to support a new generation of leaders. Each year, as new classes of young people take part in The Obama Foundation’s programs, Michelle and I are struck by the passion, creativity, and determination they bring to the table. They give us hope.

I know that — with support from this community — The Obama Foundation’s programs like the My Brothers Keeper Alliance, the Girls Opportunity Alliance, and Obama Youth Job Corps will help these emerging leaders build lasting connections, learn from one another, and continue driving the kind of change that shapes a more just, sustainable, and hopeful future.

But you and I know that change doesn’t just happen, The — it takes hard work. So I hope you’ll consider supporting this work on Giving Tuesday, and making a difference.

Can I count on you to give today to help us reach our fundraising goal and take our work to the next level?

The, I know you’re someone who cares about building a better future, so I truly hope I can count on your support this Giving Tuesday.

Please know that your gift will go towards training emerging leaders, providing new opportunities for boys and girls in our country, and building active democratic communities around the world fueled by empathy, courage, and integrity.

Make your Giving Tuesday gift of $25 or more to support The Obama Foundation’s work to empower the next generation of world leaders.

Thank you for your support.
