Now’s your chance to get support from family and friends to take up capoeira, quit smoking, train for the San Francisco marathon, find a language exchange partner, finish knitting that sweater you started last winter, or unclutter your life. Whatever it is, you can reach your goal and expand Causa Justa :: Just Cause’s base of grassroots donors by setting up an online fundraising page and asking everyone in your life to sponsor your resolution!

The Unity Fund is a one-year campaign to make our organizational merger a success by raising $100,000 in donations from individuals. We need 20 more people to set up online fundraising pages by May to reach our Unity Fund goal. Can you help us?

Create your own profile page:
1. Go to: //www.firstgiving.com/cjjc
2. Click ‘Get Started’
3. Select ‘¡Sí Se Puede!’
4. Open an account and click ‘Create Your Page’
5. Follow instructions for editing your page (tell your story, upload photos, set a fundraising target)
6. Email it out, link it to your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.

Or if you would prefer to connect with your friends face-to-face, invite them over to your house and tell them why Causa Justa :: Just Cause and the struggle for grassroots community justice means so much to you. Whether you’re interested in hosting a backyard barbeque, a lavish three-course brunch, an anti-capitalist monopoly game throw-down, or a benefit show, you can improve your social life while supporting the fight of low-income tenants and homeowners to stay in their homes.

We’re here to help you with anything you need related to your fundraising project. Trouble coming up with an idea? Want help wording an email to your friends? Need us to set deadlines and call, email, or text you with reminders?  We’re here for you!
To get involved, or for more information, please contact Alia at alia@cjjc.org, or 510.763.5877 ext. 313.
