It’s still going on

Dear Peter,

When there are no direct attacks from Iran to dominate news headlines, it’s easy to think that everything is back to normal in Israel. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tens of thousands of precious people are trying to piece their lives back together. It may not make the headlines, but it’s still going on, and they urgently need our help. We have received a generous matching gift challenge that will double your gift to help twice as many people—so please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today.

EMAIL_081524.jpg

The situation is urgent. So many people have lost homes, family members, and even everything they owned in the missile attacks. I’m thinking about families like the Cohens. They buried six family members on the day their son was supposed to have his bar mitzvah. We helped them with the medical bills, buying clothing, and more, and they were so grateful. But there are so many others in urgent need.

The people of Israel are suffering greatly right now, and while they need our prayers, they also need our help. Together we are answering the command of God, “Comfort ye My people.” Together we are telling, and more importantly showing, the people of Israel that they are not alone. Please send your most generous gift today and share this with everyone you know.

Your support of the Friends of Zion today allows us to comfort the people of Israel who have survived the terrorist attacks, minister to the families of the hostages, continue to purchase and deliver food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities of life for the poor Holocaust survivors and refugees of Ukraine, continue to operate the Friends of Zion Museum, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel. Thank you so much for being part of this vital worldwide prayer movement. 

Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Mike Evans

Tasting Table Line-Up

🍾 Brut Metodo Classico (91 pts, James Suckling) – “Lots of apple and cream aromas and flavors. Some yeastiness. Full and round-textured. Delicious finish. I am a long-time fan of this sparkling wine.” Buy Now

🍷 La Pettegola Vermentino 2024 – Straw yellow wine, with intense citrus hints of thyme, sage, yellow peach, and elderflower. The full structure is well balanced by freshness. Very persistent and fruity finish. Buy Now

🍷 Chianti Classico 2023 – Deep mauve red, with a complex and rich bouquet. Hints of plum jam and blackberry evolve, then, into notes of vanilla, licorice, and leather, deriving from aging. In the mouth, it is balanced and persistent. Long finish. Buy Now

🍷 Rosso di Montalcino 2024 (92 pts, Jeb Dunnuck) – “Fresh and vinous with an elegant nose of red currants, vibrant violets and a whiff of citrus. A leafy touch as well. Medium-bodied, it shines with velvety tannins and a chewy palate. Good savory finish.” Buy Now

🍷 Belnero Toscana 2023 (91 pts, Jeb Dunnuck) – “Based mainly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Belnero is ripe and expressive, offering baked cherries, pine, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of spice. Full-bodied, it leans into its bolder fruit while still maintaining freshness and definition, with ripe tannins and a clean finish.” Buy Now

🍷 Poggio all’Oro Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2010 (97 pts, James Suckling) – “A riserva with so much structure and tension. A full body that shows dried fruit and mushroom flavors. Walnut soil, too. So long and powerful. A glorious wine. Wine for the long term.” Buy Now

🍷 Summus 2020 (94 pts, Robert Parker) – “A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, the Castello Banfi 2020 SummuS comes with a black label and a metal label appliqué. That fancy packaging leads to an elegant bouquet and soft fruit flavors, blackberry, baked plum and sweet spice. The tannins are resolved, and the wine shows lots of supple layering.” Buy Now

Invest in Arizona’s Lands and WatersTake ActionThe Yellow-breasted Chat relies on healthy riverside habitat. 

Dear RJ,

The Arizona Legislature is crafting the state budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2026. Join more than 400 Audubon supporters in telling them to invest in Arizona’s natural resources today.

Each year, Audubon Southwest outlines its priorities for Arizona’s state budget. Along with you, our powerful grassroots network, we advocate for investments to maintain and protect our lands and waters.

Now is the time to contact your lawmakers in the Arizona Legislature and encourage them to include funding to steward Arizona’s natural resources in the state budget.

Audubon Southwest supports the following state funding investments to protect Arizona’s lands and waters for the next fiscal year:  

  • $30 million for the Colorado River Protection Fund
  • Maintain current funding levels for the Arizona Department of Water Resources
  • Preserve existing monies in the Water Supply Development Revolving Fund
  • $9.5 million for the Water Quality Fee Fund  
  • $3 million for salt cedar removal and reestablishing native plants
  • $1 million for the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund
  • $100,000 for the Arizona Trail
  • Funding for existing state programs that could make an immediate impact through water conservation, efficiency, reuse, groundwater recharge, and forest and watershed health

Protecting Arizona’s lands and waters for generations to come requires continued investment from the state. Urge your legislators to craft a state budget that incorporates the funding necessary to safeguard Arizona’s natural resources that communities, businesses, farms, and birds—like Yellow-breasted Chat—depend on.

Save 9th Grade On-Track

Peter,

Last week, Governor Hobbs vetoed a budget for Arizona that included NO FUNDING for 9th Grade On-Track programs.  Save 9th Grade On-Track

We don’t need to tell you why that’s detrimental for students. Lower graduation rates. Lower on-track rates. Increased absenteeism. Less career or college preparedness.  

Those are all the dangers from eliminating this program. We can’t afford to cut this funding. Please tell your legislators to support 9th Grade On-Track funding in the Arizona budget!  

Standing with you, 

Jacob Sumner, Marketing and Communications Manager 

Stand for Children Arizona

Stand for Children Arizona is a unique catalyst for educational success and social progress, to create a brighter future for us all.
