You did it! Thank you!

More than 280 donors pledged more than $20,000 in the last 30 days as part of a successful all-or-nothing online fundraising campaign. Check out the video that launched our successful campaign:

Coexist is a documentary and educational outreach project in use by more than 3,000 schools and community organizations in 50 states and more than a dozen countries. Our project includes a 40-minute film and a four-lesson Teacher's Guide, which can be used in the classroom and in support of positive school climate campaigns, to counter bullying, and to encourage positive choices to prevent violence.

. . .

In Rwanda we say "murakoze cyane", thank you very much, for joining together to carry Coexist to our goal of $20,000, and with 12 hours to spare in our campaign to create public conversations about reducing violence in our communities! You have proved that many hands make light work. 272 people pledged an average of $74!

A Rwandan proverb says, "The sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warriors. Language is better than weapons." You have demonstrated the power of community and thereby created an incredible opportunity to spread our message to millions of households via public television. We will let you know when the new, longer version of Coexist is ready and keep you informed about its broadcast schedule on public television stations across the country in the coming months.

Thanks to you we will reach many more schools. For those who haven't, there's still time to donate here. We continue to receive new invitations to work with educators and students, including another school in Cambridge, Mass. This week they invited us to teach their ninth graders. Additional donations will allow us to deliver Coexist to them and other schools at greatly reduced cost.
