Hi <<First Name>>,
New Start needs your help! We're less than a week away from our crowdfunding campaign ending and we still have over halfway to go. Every gift helps us get to our goal of providing $9,000 in scholarships to the best of the best at New Start's Academic Conference! If every New Start alum, staff alum, and supporter gave $10, we'd exceed this goal in a heartbeat! Please consider making a gift today and help us spread the word by forwarding this email and sharing on social media.
And, since we're just five days out from the Conference, I wanted to share with you that out of 127 groups, almost 70 of our groups asked to be considered for streaming on Facebook Live! What a great response! During the conference, we will have 8 sessions over the two days - be sure to tune in!
And so without further ado, the 8 groups that will be streamed on Facebook Live are...
What's It Earth: Overpopulation
Mario Bustamante, Jordan Torgerson & Benni Delgado
The (In)Visible Woman
Morgan Wallace, Kayla Chandler & Sarah Alvarez
Flowers Among the City: Women's Involvement in the Israeli-Palestine Conflict
Deanna Kachinosky, Zoë Korban & Emily Quiroz
Untaming the Mane: Redefining the Limits Placed on African-American Hair
Sarah Cowherd, Tie La Mar & Dee Dee Wampler
International Borders in Education

Turning Lemons into Lemonade: Transforming Oppression into Art

What's Getting Between You and Your Education: The Societal, Physical, and Mental Barriers to Academia

These students and over 350 of their peers will be presenting next week at the conference. I hope you will join me in contributing to this campaign to support the outstanding academic work our students are producing!
With gratitude,
Tom Murray
