Defend Nonprofits. Defend Democracy. Say it with Your Chest. For weeks now, you’ve seen Rusty Stahl — our Founder, President & CEO — out there ringing the alarm about the dangers of H.R. 9495. With your help, our organizing — alongside many, many colleagues — successfully changed 37 votes from “Yes” on 11/12 to “No” only 10 days later 11/21! We are continuing our work to stop the bill from going any further. Here’s a simple and stylish new way you can help: This morning we launched our end-of-year online fundraiser with Defend Nonprofits / Defend Democracy tees and hoodies: https://lnkd.in/eM9MKpnz You can be one of the first people in the universe to sport this message on your chest. We’d appreciate the support of the cause and of our organization. Buy one for yourself! Buy one for each of your team members as an on-message end-of-year gift! And, of course, we’d appreciate if you’d consider making a donation to FTP on top of your purchase. Designed in festive black and white to indicate the seriousness of our times, these soft, cozy tees and hoodies are the perfect present for yourself to stay warm and comfy as the fight against the Nonprofit-Killer Bill (H.R. 9495) continues into the holidays. They’re also a great way to remind your colleagues, family, and neighbors that you are part of an incredible workforce that brings to life our First Amendment freedoms of speech, assembly, religion, press, and advocacy — 365 days of the year! And that our nonprofit sector is highly valuable and worth defending. We need at least seven sales to cover print costs and begin bringing in dollars for Fund the People. We would love it if you would be one of our first seven sales! This fundraiser runs through December 25.

I invite you to purchase some stylish new gear from Fund the People, and consider adding a donation. https://lnkd.in/eM9MKpnz It's an easy way to spread the word about how nonprofits contribute to our democracy, and the threat we face from H.R. 9495 (the nonprofit-killer bill). You'll be supporting Fund the People, the national initiative to maximize investment in America's nonprofit workforce, as we mobilize the sector in self-defense and build toward our vision of a nonprofit workforce with the power to achieve and sustain significant social justice goals. Fund the People is proud to be housed at the wonderful nonprofit fiscal sponsor, Community Partners (a 501c3 organization), and that's where your funds will go.
