With the generous support of an all-volunteer board, the energy brought by various working groups, and a single paid staff position - our Organizing and Advocacy Director - a post currently occupied by the intrepid Charles Johnson, CAPA has provided invaluable information on the many challenges inherent in our struggle to achieve a more peaceful and equitable society.
We have grown our CAPA board this year, bringing on 6 new committed members. They represent a broad cross section of talent and lived experience. This board growth positions us well for increased activity, but if we are to continue to amplify your voice in the public square, it is clear that we now must augment our staff capacity. We will be hiring an assistant to the Organizing and Advocacy Director and are currently interviewing for this new part-time position.
We are launching a special-purpose fundraising campaign with a modest goal of $15,000 to fund the first year of this all-important position. We are so very fortunate to have a small group of generous supporters offering a matching grant of $7,500 to help us get to this goal quickly. Thus, every single dollar you contribute to the campaign will be DOUBLED by their generous matching grant.
