Dear friends,
Last week, I emailed a big update about my work and asked people to
contribute to the Sustainable Economies Law Center. Today, SELC has $3,800
left to raise to get a $10,000 matching grant tomorrow. Can you help
us?  Here's
the link to contribute<http://www.razoo.com/story/Selc-Spring-Matching-Grant-Campaign>
.

*My serious note: *Normally, I send cartoons to inspire people to support
SELC, and this email is no exception. But on a more serious note, I want to
say that SELC has historically gotten a lot of important work done with
almost no wiggle room in our budget. In October, when a group of
Chinese-American farmers got hit with heartbreaking fines that threatened
to shut down their farms and way of life, SELC jumped in to advocate for
the farmers, and we've been involved ever since. We didn't feel we had the
time or resources to help the farmers, but we did anyway, because the
incident has broad implications. That's how SELC works. We just dive in and
do stuff when it really matters and when it will have a big impact. In the
long run, we really can't do this without building a solid base of
individual supporters, and I'm emailing because I'm hoping you will become
part of that base.

*And below are 12 videos to get you inspired about SELC.* Also, attached
are lists of our 2011 and 2012 accomplishments (one of which features 20
cartoon drawings).
