The
Week
Online
Needs
Your
Help
3/28/03
Dear friend of drug reform:
The Week Online is in crisis
and needs your help!
Why?
Giving to nonprofits since
9/11/01 has gone down in general as uncertain economic times result in
fewer and smaller donations. This is the case for both our smaller
membership donations and our larger major donor gifts. Additionally,
the movement's major grant-making program has greatly delayed its application
process for 2003, and we as well as most organizations in the movement
have been hit very hard as a result. The cumulative impact has left
The Week Online's budget in dire straits.
Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/wol.html
and make a donation to support the Week Online -- large or small, everything
helps -- or send your check or money order to DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington,
DC 20036 -- or visit
http://www.drcnet.org/donate/monthly.html to sign up for a monthly
credit card donation.
-
$1,400, tax-deductible, will
fully fund one issue of The Week Online and all associated costs -- Phil
Smith's salary, 20 percent of David Borden's, plus rent, Internet distribution
and other overhead -- and a little extra to print it out and mail it to
prisoners who've requested it.
-
$40,000, together with other
funds received or likely, will complete The Week Online's budget for all
of 2003. $45,000 will let us translate it into Spanish too -- very
important in the aftermath of our enormously successful, historic Latin
America conference (visit http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/shadows/
to find out more).
-
$100, $50, $25, even $10, if
that is what you can afford, times 1,000 contributors -- only one out of
every 25 people on this e-mail list -- will add up to make a huge difference.
$30 or more entitles you to a choice of free DRCNet gifts!
The Week Online is used by too
many drug reform supporters, to empower their own work, to be allowed to
go under. Nothing could boost the spirits of our prohibitionist opponents
more than seeing the world's leading and most widely-reaching drug reform
newsletter cease to publish. But that's what's going to happen without
your help. So make a donation to make sure this doesn't happen --
visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/wol.html
to donate today! You can also make a non-deductible donation to support
our lobbying work -- visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/
to make a contribution of either kind.
Donations to the DRCNet Foundation
are tax-deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Donations to the Drug Reform Coordination Network would support our lobbying
work and are not deductible. We can also accept donations of stock:
Our broker is Ameritrade, phone: (800) 669-3900, account number 772973012,
DTC number 0188. Or send your check or money order to: DRCNet, P.O.
Box 18402, Washington, DC 20036.
Thank you in advance for
your support.
Sincerely,
David Borden, Executive Director
Drug Reform Coordination
Network
P.S. Check out our newly-redesigned
home page, read the current Week Online headlines and view footage and
other info from our historic Latin American legalization conference --
