JAI JAGAT 2020 FUND RAISING APPEAL

April 
Bhopal       

Dear Friend

Re: Request your participation in and financial contribution for Jai Jagat 2020

Jai jagat is an iconic global campaign towards justice and peace for the millions of people witnessing poverty, inequality and marginalization. Jai Jagat (in Hindi)  means 'victory to an inclusive and peaceful world' a message of Mahatma Gandhi which  inspire many mass movements globally. Its focus is to link Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th year anniversary with the United Nations message “No one left behind”. A campaign of this size is crucial if we are to upscale nonviolence and achieve a planetary peace, free of war and a climate crisis in the next generation.

The Jai Jagat is a long march in Gandhian style that begins on 2nd October 2019 from Delhi and arrives in Geneva one year later. The march will cover about 14 countries and approximately 10,000 kilometers. Enroute there will be dozens of meetings to see people’s aspirations and to explore what messages need to be brought to Geneva. As the long march arrives in Switzerland, there will be other marches from different quarters of Europe and North Africa that plan to converge in Geneva on the last week of September 2020. For eight days, there are many programs planned in Geneva to ensure that global financial trade and  UN leaders have heard the voices of the grassroots and the marginalized people.

On behalf of the Jai Jagat Indian and Global Team, we are requesting you to assist with a generous donation. To illustrate the costs of running this campaign, we have worked out a budget of Rs. 4.05 crores. This is based on a breakdown of all expected expenses like food, accommodation, health insurance, visa, and so forth. A scale has been provided for easy selection of payment to one or more marchers for set periods (Annex 1). The payment information of Ekta Foundation Trust is:

Ekta Foundation Trust, Axis Bank, MP. Nagar, Bhopal, A/C: 044010100175708, IFSC Code: UTIB0000044.

There will also be a virtual march going on simultaneously, and you will have a front row seat to witness this march in real time over one year. (for more details:  www.jaijagat2020.org).

With every one of us pitching in to address climate change and violence through different actions, at our level we believe that this march is likely to achieve its goal of bringing global awareness for basic change in our approach towards life and nature.

Let us believe is our chance to make a difference. 

Sending our regards,

Rajagopal. P.V. & Jill Carr-Harris
