Subject: What can I do?

Help us continue to speak truth to power

Dear Friend,


I’m writing to you during a critical time — we urgently need your help. Today, TNI and organisations like ours are facing significant threats, while our work has become more crucial than ever.


We are witnessing a disturbing trend of rising authoritarianism, where leaders are actively seeking to delegitimise and dismantle progressive civil society. One tactic is aggressive budget cuts aimed at de-funding critical voices. This impacts areas vital to our shared future like assuring human rights and tackling climate change. TNI has been tremendously affected by these cuts.  At the same time, we see vast public resources being diverted towards militarization, further jeopardizing progress in crucial social and environmental spheres. This all presents acute threats to the capacities and futures of organisations like TNI.


Many of you may be feeling overwhelmed at how fast democratic space is being closed down or asking yourselves, "What can I do?". The answer lies in collective action and supporting TNI and our allies.


With your financial support, whether a one-off gift or a regular donation of 12 Euros a month, you are not just donating to an organisation, you are making an investment in the counter-power we so urgently need to build. By becoming a monthly donor you help us to plan our work and assures our independence.

TNI holds a unique position as a respected global progressive hub. We build links across social movements and across borders, provide information useful for campaign strategy, produce analysis that helps movements see the bigger picture of global power, and we work hard in developing ideas that can provide the building blocks for the future we want. As our President, Susan George noted, ‘a market-dominated, iniquitous world is not inevitable but a conscious creation, implying that counter-forces and a counter-project are possible.’ This requires the support and promotion of alternative worldviews and the knowledge needed to challenge the status quo.


On behalf of us all at TNI, thank you very much for your continued commitment to our shared mission and for your consideration. Should you have any questions about our work or other ways to give, please do not hesitate to contact us

With hope and determination,


Fiona Dove

Executive Director

Transnational Institute
