Dear Alliance for Appalachia supporters,
As 2023 draws to a close, we at The Alliance for Appalachia look back at all we’ve accomplished this past year thanks to our supporters. From hosting multiple trainings around grassroots enforcement tactics to creating a seat at the table for our members to participate in critical decision-making processes about regional investments, your solidarity has made a real difference in the lives of the people we advocate for. This year we supported our members’ participation at various trainings, events, conferences, organizational partner visits, and funder meetings to build leadership and connection. We are working on building more coalitions here in Appalachia with an additional eye towards larger cohorts such as the Gulf South to Appalachia convening. We also hired a new Development Coordinator, Taysha DeVaughan, and will continue to evolve our coalition to meet the current moment with her support.

We are very proud of our success but our work is far from over. Heading into 2024, we aim to take on even bigger tasks like reviving our federal working group, hosting part two of our community resilience network building webinar, and coordinating our next strategic planning gathering to build power in Appalachia. With your contribution before December 31st, you can provide crucial resources to energize our efforts in this important new year.
We greatly appreciate your role as a partner in this journey toward promoting a healthy, just Appalachia in communities impacted by destructive resource extraction. Your compassion and financial support allow us to center impacted voices from our communities. Please consider making an end-of-year gift today to carry this momentum into 2024.
Every gift counts when it comes to transforming lives. With your help, we can make the upcoming year one of growth, progress, and positive change for the people relying on The Alliance for Appalachia.
Thank you for your consideration. Donate here!
On behalf of our entire coalition, we wish you and yours a happy holiday season.
Taysha DeVaughan & Lyndsay Tarus
