his year has been tough for

everyone. With a global

pandemic, a failing

economy, racial injustice and climate change rising, we are all struggling with how to

come together and

rebuild relationships

and the country that we

love. The holidays are

meant to be a time of

jubilation and joy, but

they can be extremely

hard for so many,

especially those who

have suffered loss or are

struggling to hold it

together themselves. In

the spirit of the holidays

I urge you to find ways

to give back and what

better way than to begin

the tradition of

celebrating Giving

Tuesday on December 1st.

“Giving Tuesday was

created in 2012 as a

simple idea: a day that

encourages people to

do good. Over the past

seven years, it has grown

into a global movement

that inspires hundreds

of millions of people to

give, collaborate, and

celebrate generosity.

Whether it’s making

someone smile, helping

a neighbor or stranger

out, showing up for an

issue or people we care

about, or giving some

of what we have to those

who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.”
