During this difficult time, we are especially grateful for your continued support of our work for a safer America. As we look to brighter days ahead, we cannot thank you enough for being the catalyst to our success.
As a loyal reader and previous donor, you already know the critical importance of our work. Today, we are asking for your renewed support of our groundbreaking projects and initiatives. Your donation to our Spring 2021 fundraising campaign will allow us to continue to bridge the language gap between the Middle East, Iran, Turkey, South Asia, Russia, the Caucasus, China, and the West.
For over two decades MEMRI has been providing vital research, primary source translations, and original analysis to U.S. and Western governments, counterterrorism officials, law enforcement, militaries, and other authorities to tackle threats and prevent terror attacks. We work with news organizations and media to inform their understanding of the complexities of issues and developments in all of these countries, and serve as a valuable resource for academia worldwide. Our research and analysis is free of charge to our major audiences – media, academia, legislatures, and the public at large – but we need your help to keep it that way.
How much have we accomplished in just three months?
As one of the world's most productive nonprofit think tanks, so far in 2021 MEMRI has published over 150 translations and analysis reports, and has released over 175 MEMRI TV clips; in 2020, MEMRI TV clips had over 30 million views. On social media – YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram – we have nearly 300,000 followers.
Please join the thousands of MEMRI supporters who donate to help us continue this critical work. We cannot do this without you, and with recent world events and heightened tensions in the region as well as domestically, our work is more crucial than ever. No one else is doing the work that MEMRI does.
