On behalf of PBI-USA, I would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a happy new year!

This year has been a very challenging year due to the coronavirus pandemic. From strict quarantine measures, loss of employment, we have all felt the consequences of the coronavirus. We also experienced a rise in civic society movements in the United States and in many countries across the world, protesting police violence. Furthermore, we have seen the effects of climate change across Central America with the devastation of Hurricanes Eta and Iota. In these times of COVID-19, criminalization of human rights defenders, and climate change, protecting human rights is more important than ever. 

Please, consider donating today to help us empower human rights defenders in 2021.

Your support can bring hope to human rights defenders and communities fighting for social and environmental rights. We count on YOU to make our work possible. With your help, we can ensure that PBI-USA is financially prepared for next year, so that we can continue to provide support to our projects, recruiting volunteers, advocating, and building support networks to protect social leaders.

Looking ahead, 2021 is an important year for PBI, because it is our 40th year anniversary.

PBI has grown and expanded its work defending human rights since 1981. 2021 is PBI’s 40 year Anniversary. We have many activities planned to celebrate this important milestone in our history together. Learn more about PBI’s history and milestones here.

This is a challenging time for us all, but if you are able to make a donation, please do so today. Thank you for your continuous support!

Sincerely,

Jorge Rodriguez-Larrain
