In these challenging times, Peace Brigades International’s work protecting threatened human rights defenders is more urgent than ever, and it is thanks to the dedication of individuals like you who believe in the power of solidarity that we’ve been able to continue this critical mission.

With the help of our generous donors, we raised an incredible $17,000 during last year’s Year-End Campaign—an achievement that helped us provide vital protection, advocacy support, and resources to human rights defenders facing danger and persecution around the world.

But there is still so much to be done! As we close out 2025, we are setting our sights even higher, with a bold goal to raise $20,000 during our 2025 Year-End Fundraising Campaign.

We know that with your support we can meet this goal and continue the work of strengthening our global network of support for threatened human rights defenders and helping to create safer spaces for activism around the world.

Why Your Support Matters

Human rights defenders are often the first line of defense against injustice. They challenge abuses of power, fight for their communities, and advocate for human rights to be upheld. But their work, when ongoing and constant, can draw threats from those who wish to silence their voices. In many places, speaking out against corruption, violence, or environmental destruction can cost them their lives.

That’s where PBI-USA comes in. With your donations, we can:

• Provide protective accompaniment to human rights defenders at risk, sometimes called unarmed bodyguards

• Offer security training to ensure defenders are prepared to navigate dangerous situations

• Build international solidarity to amplify the voices of those fighting for justice

Together, We Can Do Even More

We invite you to join us in this vital work. Your gift—whether large or small—will make an immediate difference in the lives of those fighting for human rights.

Here’s How You Can Help:

• Make a Donation: Every gift, large or small, helps us carry out our work. Donate now through our Givebutter campaign to help us reach our $30,000 goal!

• Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends and family. The more people who know about the power of protective accompaniment and the work of PBI, the greater our collective impact.

• Become a Monthly Supporter: Consider becoming a monthly donor to provide ongoing support for PBI-USA’s work throughout the year.

Your support means that when human rights are under threat, we can be there—standing with defenders, advocating for change, and ensuring the power of peace and solidarity is never silenced.

With gratitude,
The PBI-USA Team
