A tenant left our workshop knowing who to call

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] came to our Tuesday night tenant workshop holding an eviction notice. They left knowing the deadline to respond and who to call.

That's what know your rights looks like when neighbors show up for each other. It's community organizing at its simplest: neighbors teaching neighbors. On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 10 free workshops, with printed guides and a volunteer attorney's time, for 200 neighbors.

Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts get us moving and show others the goal is within reach.

10 tenant workshops, $1,000, and today is the day

Hi [First name],

It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day.

Last week we shared [Name]'s story. Today we're working toward $1,000 for 10 free tenant workshops, and we're at [Total raised] so far.

Here's what gifts cover:

  • $25 prints know-your-rights guides for 10 tenants at a workshop
  • $50 pays for interpreter time for one workshop so families can follow along
  • $100 covers one full tenant workshop: room, guides, and a volunteer attorney's travel

100% of your gift goes to these workshops, and we use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

If you can, give today and help us reach 200 neighbors.

Thank you for backing the tenant workshops

Hi [First name],

Thank you. Together we raised [Total raised] from [Number of donors] people, and [Outcome reached].

Because of you, the next tenant who walks in with an eviction notice, like [Name] did, will get the same: the deadline and who to call. Next, we're scheduling workshops and printing guides. Every guide and every hour a volunteer attorney gives traces back to you.

Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can give here: [Year-end appeal link]. If not, no worries. Your gift already did its work.

With thanks,
