Dear Friends,

Today marks the end of SWAN’s fiscal year, one packed with many triumphs. We thank you for all of the ways in which you have supported us.

As the next year starts, we have much work left to do to guarantee equality for all service members and veterans. We are prepared to take on the challenges ahead knowing that you, too, believe in and will defend equality.

Last night, we received some exciting news! V-Day generously donated $5,000 to our National Peer Support Helpline! With their donation, our $25,000 Matching Campaign has raised $12,460. A generous donor will double this amount and will continue to do so until midnight tonight.

There is still time for you to help us raise an additional $12,540 by midnight. Can you ask just one friend to donate $25 to SWAN, so that we can provide vital legal and peer support to military women around the nation and deployed overseas?

Please click here now to donate. Thank you for all you do to support our troops and veterans!

In service,

Anu Bhagwati
Executive Director
Service Women’s Action Network
