ENGAGE is now beginning to move into the next stage of our fundraising for the Anti-mining tour to Mexico! This stage includes us running an online crowdfunding campaign and submitting grant applications to Sparkplug and AJ Muste Foundation, but we want all ENGAGE members to be as involved as possible. To prepare for our Spring Drive, our main fundraising campaign starting in April, we are asking ENGAGE members to host fundraisers in their own community in support of our campaign.
As you may have heard, Larissa Gaias, a CIEE Khon Kaen alum, has graciously volunteered to host a small fundraiser in her own community, with the proceeds of the event going towards our Mining Campaign. On April 3rd, she will be hosting an art show during her community's monthly art walk, featuring photographs and artwork done by former CIEE students telling the story of mining in the NE and Na Nong Bong.
We call on 12 ENGAGErs to step up and commit to hosting an event as part of our Spring Drive, running from April 3rd to May 17th. It would be so amazing to have multiple events around the country hosted by ENGAGE members - spreading awareness, getting people involved, and raising money!
It can be as big or as small as you want it to be, and feel free to be creative! Any amount of donations helps us get closer to reaching our goal, and it is only possible with the support of the network. Here are some suggested ideas:
