December 3, 2024
On this Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity, we invite you to be part of a movement that helps carry the weight of peace in places burdened by conflict. Across the world, millions of people are shouldering the heavy loads of fear, loss, and uncertainty—especially in conflict zones like Sudan, Israel, and Palestine. But with your support, we can help lighten that load.
At Search for Common Ground, we believe in the power of hope. And this Giving Tuesday, as part of The Things We Carry campaign, we are committed to turning that belief into action.
Sudan: Women Leading the Path to Peace
In Sudan, where more than 16 months of violence have devastated communities, peace talks took place in August 2024. Search for Common Ground brought a group of courageous Sudanese women to the negotiating table to advocate for a gender-responsive ceasefire. They carry not just the burden of conflict but the hope for lasting peace. Their leadership is a reminder of the power of collaboration, demanding an end to violence and equal representation in peace processes.
Israel and Palestine: Bridging Divides
In Israel and Palestine, the weight of conflict has affected every corner of life. But even in these divided communities, there is room for hope. In places like Lod, we are helping rebuild trust between neighbors through early warning systems and conflict prevention initiatives. By including women and youth in these efforts, we are fostering dialogue and cooperation—showing that peace is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Why Giving Tuesday Matters
Giving Tuesday is more than just a day to give—it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact. By joining this global movement of generosity, you are helping us carry the promise of a more peaceful world. Your support today will go directly toward our work in Sudan, Israel, Palestine, and other conflict-affected regions, enabling us to continue empowering individuals and communities to rise above division and violence.
This Giving Tuesday, you can help carry the hope for peace. Together, we can lighten the load for families and communities that need it most.
