Dear Friend,

You've been a steadfast supporter of Mercy Corps, so we'd like to give you the first opportunity to take part in a collaboration that we're pretty excited about.

For a limited time, we're offering a free copy of a new book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn — the husband-and-wife team who together won the Pulitzer Prize while reporting for The New York Times — to supporters who want to do something more to help women around the world.

Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide tells the inspiring stories of brave women who have overcome daunting circumstances to set their lives on a better path. Among them is the Pakistani activist Mukhtar Mai, whose work Mercy Corps has supported for several years.

We invite you to read the book with your friends, neighbors or book club, and to organize a small fundraising event to support Mercy Corps' efforts to empower women around the world.

Follow this link to our Half the Sky page to find out more and to register. You'll receive a copy of the book and a link to the Moderator's Kit we developed with Nick and Sheryl.

Please join us — and put your ideas to work and raise money to help these brave women.

Thank you.

Please note: The free book is a limited-time offer — available only to our most committed supporters — so act now before supplies run out.

The One Table Campaign aims to influence government policy, raise awareness and fund programs that support women's roles in strengthening food security in the developing world. The campaign is inspired by Mercy Corps' belief that investing in women is one of the smartest ways to end hunger — and improve the well-being of entire families. We're calling our campaign One Table because global hunger is a shared problem that demands a collective solution. To get involved, visit http://onetable.mercycorps.org.
