The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) exists on donations. Based on what you’ve read so far in Just Mercy, and the research you have done about the EJI, assume the role of head fund-raiser for the EJI and compose a letter to potential donors explaining why people should support the work of the EJI. Support your claims with evidence from the book or the EJI’s website. Write a 1 Page letter addressing the prompt. The format should be that of a business letter.

In a speech before the american society of newspaper editors (april 16, 1953), president eisenhower stated: "every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. this world in arms is not spending money alone. it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. this is not a way of life at all in any true sense. under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." do you agree or disagree?
