A Letter from Robin Morgan
Posted by Emily in 
Robin Morgan is on SWAN’s Advisory Board and is one of my favorite people in the world. Many of us know her as an iconic writer and visionary within the women’s movement. But to us at SWAN, she is a mentor and friend. During the hardest times, she apologetically encourages us to continue to do what we are doing. Today, we thank her for sharing her heart and pen in support of our work.

Dear Friend,
I’m proud to be a member of SWAN’s Advisory Board, and I’m writing to share exciting news about this extraordinary organization.
As you may know, SWAN (The Service Women’s Action Network) uses legislative reform, litigation, public education, and a national peer support helpline to help secure equal opportunity and the freedom to serve in uniform without the threat of harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or assault, and to secure quality health care and equal benefits for women veterans and their families.
As an Advisor to SWAN, I have the privilege of watching first-hand the incredible results SWAN accomplishes every year. If you’re already a SWAN fan and friend, you know that this NGO does what no other organization even attempts.
And the exciting news? SWAN’s been offered a matching grant of $25,000, by a generous, wonderful donor. So if you make a donation now, it will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your gift and its impact – and what’s more: you’ll receive a SWAN t-shirt, while supplies last (they’re really cool). All donations are tax-deductible.
I know times are hard, but surely we can dig down deeper into our pockets for our service women and women vets – especially since whatever we give doubles itself. To learn more about SWAN’s Matching Campaign, visit: http://www.indiegogo.com/Defend-Equality –and make a donation today.
I hope from the heart that you will contribute whatever you can to the Matching Campaign – to double the value of your donation and double the crucial support it brings. In advance, I add my personal gratitude to that of the dynamic women and men of SWAN.
