Pamela: July 4th is meant to be about freedom and celebration. But in the face of multiple crises — as Trump brings us to the brink of all-out war with Iran, masked ICE agents abduct people in broad daylight, the Trump administration illegally deports people without due process, U.S.-made bombs keep devastating Gaza, hostages continue to languish, and more — freedom and celebration might feel distant.

The willingness to use violence and the power to strip humanity away from those who disagree lie at the heart of the rising authoritarianism we're seeing. The good news? Win Without War is uniquely positioned to push back on both — but we can't do it alone.

There will be setbacks on this journey to build a more just and peaceful world, but we can't lose hope. When we are hopeless, it fuels those who would do violence for profit or power. When we believe that we can make lives better for ourselves, our neighbors, and the global community, warmongers are weakened.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

After so many emails, you might wonder, 'Can a few dollars really help?'

The answer is YES. Because by the time you read this, lots of people have already given. And those donations — $6, $25, $200, anything — add up to a huge amount. All this support fuels a movement powerful enough to stop a war.

What will your donations do? They'll help us continue getting our expert staff, constituents (like you!), and partners in front of DC decision-makers to prevent war with Iran, end violence in Gaza, stop wasteful Pentagon spending, push for diplomacy, and protect the rights of immigrants and all those being targeted by the Trump administration.

Your donations get mobile billboards out in the streets, op-eds on the front pages of national and local newspapers, and mobilize hundreds of thousands of voices to drown out the war hawks.

Here's the thing: No one person, event, or campaign is going to get us the world of peace and justice that we all want and deserve. What will? Organizing in the face of our despair.

If you're reading this, chances are you know what it's like to speak up even when it's not popular, even if it comes at a cost, even when it's hard to keep going. Today, know that you're not alone. Around the country, people everywhere are recommitting to one another, to our version of patriotism, and to a beautiful vision of a better world.

Thank you for working for peace,

The Win Without War team
