Dear Natalie,

This is it.

 2014 has been an amazing year for WAM! so far.  As a community, we've held
the
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=41Y3jVVRkpC2tHdVMk5rkr0h5TRfL4I0>Chicago
Sun Times
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=G%2BjkdgOBMw8VcuHNFS977L0h5TRfL4I0>
to account for its transmisogny
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=O0akHQ%2FqEVVTwu63arP%2BNL0h5TRfL4I0>.
WAM! members launched new chapters in the Bay Area
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rThPMdicXFRMXldtxVVwc70h5TRfL4I0>,
Montreal
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Jmh%2BzKsFNJpLMJFQVfNjHb0h5TRfL4I0>
and Seattle
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hgRqBWIcn8VV%2BCGamIzANL0h5TRfL4I0>.
We've joined together to fight for Net Neutrality
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GvnZjVIYethNd3bBJejEFr0h5TRfL4I0>.
And we've showed our collective power by turning out en masse to give the
Anita Hill documentary a blockbuster opening weekend.

--

 We’ve done it all to serve one purpose: making media more just for women
and gender nonconforming people.

--

 Now we’ve arrived at a major moment of change for all of us who are part
of WAM! In January, after 10 years building this incredible movement, I’m
transitioning out of my role Executive Director. I know we've never had
more momentum than we do today--and the year isn’t even over. I also know
that when the WAM! community unites, we can make the seemingly impossible
happen.

--

 That's why, starting today, we're launching the most ambitious funding
campaign in WAM!'s history. With your help
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6sbGu1AiTD5Rs%2FjM7wmPNb0h5TRfL4I0>,
we're going to raise $100,000 between now and the end of the year.

--

 That’s what we need to ensure that the new Executive Director can hit the
ground running. Without these funds, this transition could hit a serious
speed bump. With your donation now, it can become a defining moment, a
launching pad from which WAM! becomes the gender justice juggernaut we’ve
been building toward all these years.

--

Your gift is a sign of solidarity with every other WAM!mer as we take this
leap together. It’s a show of faith for our next Executive Director. It
says that you aren’t just wishing for WAM! to grow stronger and bolder in
2015, but that you’re willing to do what it takes to make it happen.

 Think about this:

   <http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vH9chSs0pytu5hxn2rQHpL0h5TRfL4I0>

   community at the heart of all of our organizing.

   <http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=H2Xziaf8fxE8QOLdMnfZNL0h5TRfL4I0>
   will pay for childcare so that a mother can attend a WAM! event that will
   provide her with the skills she needs to make her voice heard.
    -

   Your $100 monthly gift now
   <http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GuX5ojSwsH6xr%2FzrrXVAw70h5TRfL4I0>
   will hire a professional communications shop for our next action, ensuring
   that we engage folks far beyond our inner circles.


*Whatever you can give, give now.
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=e%2FF6t9BBpCbj2Doi%2FQl7Rb0h5TRfL4I0>
*Whatever you can give to get us to that $100,000 goal will ensure that
this moment of transition will be a moment of triumph.


This is a campaign for WAM!’s future. Sure, it's a little nuts. But that's
WAM!. We're always setting our sights on what others say is impossible, and
winning. Let’s do this.
