Special Announcements No. 1072

As a loyal reader and previous donor to MEMRI, you already know the vital importance of our work. Today, we are asking for your renewed support of our groundbreaking projects and initiatives. Please donate to our Summer 2021 fundraising campaign, so that we can continue to bridge the language gap between the Middle East/South Asia, Russia, China, and the West, benefiting policymakers, legislatures, media, and academia.

For over two decades MEMRI has been providing key research, primary source translations, and original analysis to U.S. and international governments, counterterrorism officials, law enforcement, militaries, and other authorities to tackle threats and prevent terror attacks. We work with media to inform their understanding of the complexities of issues and developments in the Middle East and South Asia, Russia, and China, and serve as a valuable resource for academia worldwide. Our research and analysis are free of charge to the general public, but we need your help to keep them that way.

As one of the world's most productive nonprofit think tanks, every day we send out two or more emails of research, with up to 10 new reports and videos.

On social media – YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram – we have over 300,000 followers.

Please join the thousands of loyal MEMRI supporters who donate to help us continue this essential 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.
