Dear Hunter,

Thank you for your ongoing support of NDI. We greatly appreciate you as a
champion for democracy around the globe and request your consideration of a
year-end gift.  Today is #GivingTuesday, which means that donations made
today via Facebook will be matched by the Gates Foundation. You can do this
by using the "donate" button on NDI's Facebook homepage
<https://www.facebook.com/National.Democratic.Institute/>.

In this interconnected world, democracy is more important today than ever
before. What happens in Mogadishu and Mosul doesn’t just stay there.
Problems in fragile states transcend borders and regions, especially when
it comes to terrorism, disease and the flow of refugees. And, as we learned
at this month’s Democracy Dinner, the challenges of disinformation are
magnified by social media platforms, artificial intelligence and machine
learning.

For pennies on the dollar, democracy assistance delivers powerful results
by giving the voiceless hope for a democratic future, often in countries
that have never had a peaceful transfer of power. Your contribution helps
brave democracy leaders battle the odds to safeguard elections, reject
radical extremism, build a more transparent government and deliver
fundamental freedoms for their people.

Thank you again for supporting NDI’s work and helping to bring about a more
peaceful, democratic and just world.

Sincerely,

James
