I am truly thrilled to announce some big changes coming to Community Rights US. This month, we are welcoming Tyler Norman as our new Director, and Jimmy Dunson as our new Development Director. Both of these extraordinary new youthful additions to our team have impressive experience in other social change movements, and they will be leading us in some new directions that I’m confident will delight and impress us all! (Scroll down to learn more about them, in their own words.)
As Founding Director, I will continue to play a very active but less public role in our organization, focusing more on writing and teaching, and less on the day-to-day needs of the organization. One major impact of the pandemic is that I am no longer able to travel around the US to lead workshops and give talks, and this may very well continue into 2022.
I want to remind all of you that I am ready and able to bring the Community Rights teachings to you online, offering anything from a keynote speech to an introductory workshop to consulting with your local group. Just ask!
I am also thrilled to announce that our end-of-year fundraising drive raised $14,220, just $780 short of our $15,000 goal. We thank the many of you who sent a donation! We literally could not do this work without you! And if you had intended to donate, now’s your chance to help us raise that final $780!
Your one-time or monthly recurring donation is tax deductible. No amount is too small. Thank you!!
Warmly,
Paul Cienfuegos
CRUS Founding Director
