As the new Development Assistant here at Sojourners, I’ve already been deeply moved by the generosity of those who support our work financially. In just the last few months I’ve witnessed an incredible outpouring of support around issues at the heart of our mission. 

In the midst of the season’s partisan squabble, our donors have taken a clear stand for truth.
 
Because of you, the Development Team is excited to breathe new life into our Gratitude blog, dedicated to those who support the work we do.
 
Gratitude is a blog for our oldest partners and newest friends. We want to show you where your investment is going, and what it’s doing in the name of peace and justice. This is just one of the ways we say “thank you” for supporting the work we do.
