I hope you can still make it to this yearâs ACLU Membership Conference.
[ACLU](
Hi {NAME} –
I've got some more exciting news for you... my wife, Melissa, and I are expecting our third child, which means that unfortunately I won't be able to attend the ACLUâs Membership Conference, but I really hope that you still can.
I really can't say this enough: This conference comes at a critical moment. Black people continue to be targeted and killed by police, the nation's incarceration rate far... far... FAR outpaces our population growth, and – still, in 2018 – politicians are trying to systemically silence voices of people of color under the guise of voter fraud.
[{NAME}, this is your chance to get $100 off your ticket! But it ends THIS Thursday. Reserve your spot right now so you can take advantage of the speakers, connections, and trainings that will arm you with the tools to transform your community – and this country.](
There's so much at stake this year, so I hope that you can go to the conference and represent these issues that are so important to me, to you, and to the future of this country.
Thank you.
W. Kamau Bell

Hi {NAME} –
Not sure if you saw the news on Twitter (why don't you follow me on Twitter?), but you can still get $100 off of your registration fee for this year's ACLU Membership Conference:
[ACLU Membership Conference - Register Now](
[I hope you can take advantage of this incredible opportunity where hardcore, committed activists like you and me can join forces to be an even more effective advocate for change.](
I am so proud to represent the ACLU's work to address racial injustice, an issue that's central to my life as a comedian, activist, and mostly as a dad. And as an ACLU member, I know this year's Membership Conference couldn't come at a more important time. The attacks on our civil rights and liberties arenât stopping – and in fact they seem to be picking up speed – [so we must take the time now to regroup, inspire, and mobilize.](
You'll hear from some of my favorite civil rights icons like Representative John Lewis, author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption Bryan Stevenson, and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors. You'll learn how to make a difference in your community through real-world applicable workshops and trainings that will teach you how to make a measurable difference. And if you are interested, you can meet with your own members of Congress to put all of that inspiration and training to work.
[Can I count on you to be there? Whether you're a long-time donor, a dedicated petition signer, a volunteer, or a brand-new ACLU member, you belong at this conference. Save your spot now before this opportunity runs out!](

P.S. And if you can't figure out how to get away from your life for a three day conference, don't worry – the ACLU has you covered with [special one-day passes, too.](
