Today we are lifting up #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of unity as a response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
The Ambassadors Circle has had the honor of working intimately with several leaders and organizations who are doing the good work. We invite you to take a peek at our curated list of organizations below and if you’re feelin’ it, drop a little love to the changemakers who are on the front lines.

Californians for Safety and Justice represents survivors of crime, people living with convictions and organizations serving them. They are mobilizing to ensure vulnerable communities are equipped to stop the spread of COVID-19. Review their action plan and join them in Telling Congress to Act.
IGNITE National - #IgnitetheVote
IGNITE is a movement of young women who are ready and eager to become the next generation of political leaders. They’ve teamed up with #whenweallvote to encourage voter registration and participation in this COVID-19 environment. You can support their work here.

With the closure of schools everywhere, the LEAD Scholars program is receiving weekly requests from students who need help with living expenses. You can make a donation (big or small) that will go directly into the hands of the students. Enter COVID-19 response in the special instructions if you’d like to donate specifically for this cause.

During the shelter in place, they have been hosting CurtainUp!, a daily 1 hour live stream to entertain our aging loved ones.
