[Unicum] Only 3 Days Left to Become an America250 Founding Supporter

Dear Friend of Hungary,

Only three days remain until Independence Day. Help us reach our first $10K crowdfunding goal by July 4th.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we have three days left to mark this special birthday by helping to ensure that Colonel Michael Kováts finally receives the recognition he deserves.

Kováts crossed the Atlantic to fight for American independence, helped build America’s first effective cavalry force, and gave his life for liberty on May 11, 1779. Yet for nearly 250 years, his story has remained largely forgotten.

Together, we can change that.

I hope you’ll consider making a gift before July 4 and becoming one of the memorial’s America250 Founding Supporters. Everyone who contributes $250 or more by Independence Day will be recognized as an America 250 Founding Supporter of this historic memorial on the project's website.

You can make a tax-deductible donation now through our PayPal page or contribute via our GoFundMe campaign—whichever is most convenient.

Every gift brings us one step closer to raising a permanent memorial to this extraordinary Hungarian-American hero in Charleston.

Thank you for helping us make history.

Thank You!
America 250 Founding Supporters

[Unicum] Munkát keresek!

Kedves Unicum tagok!

Jelenleg munkát keresek legfőképpen babysitter állást az amit hosszútávra vagy akár bentlakásos lehetőségel keresek. Vagy akár kutyákra is szívesen vigyázzok. De szívesen meghallgatok bármilyen más munkával kapcsolatos lehetőséget is. Megbizható fiatal lány vagyok, gyermekekkel szeretek lenni én magam is egy nagy családból származom.. Angol nyelv tudásommal elboldogulok sok helyzetben és jelenleg is tanulom. Jogositványal jelenleg még nem rendelkezem, ezért leginkább olyan elérhető munkát keresek ami bejárható busszal, metróval Washington és Sterling környékén. Amerikai és Magyar családoknál egyaránt szivesen dolgozom.

E-mail : szinty17@gmail.com

Tel : 571 426 7051

Köszönettel, Nagy Cintia

Subject: Call for Participants for documentary filming and interview for " Defining Love (Voices of Black D.C.)"

This email to YOU is a Call for Participants to Express Your Views and Share Your Stories for the film documentary in recognition of the 5 Tenets of Black Love Day, entitled "Defining Love: Voices of Black D.C."

In collaboration with Sekou Mama Ayo Handy-Kendi, founder of Black Love Day, Feb. 13th, we are working on a short documentary and oral history project funded by Humanities DC called Defining Love: Voices of Black D.C.. We are looking for participants to join the conversation. Come out and meet SEKOU MAMA AYO AT SELECTED SITES AND BREATHE IN SELF LOVE.

The project explores what love means to Black Washingtonians through the five tenets of Black Love Day which are • Love for the Creator • Love for Self • Love for Family • Love for Community • Love for the Black Diaspora

We are looking to interview approximately 25 people over our first two filming days. We especially encourage people to participate with their loved ones, children, parents, partners, or even neighbors. Interviews are casual conversations lasting 20–30 minutes. If helpful, a brief prep call can be scheduled beforehand. A signed media release is required.

FUNDRAISING PITCH

"Defining Love: Voices of Black D.C." is connected to the larger feature documentary, titled, "A Revolution Called Love," inspired by Black Love Day, founded by Sekou Mama Ayo Handy-Kendi through the African American Holiday Association. "Defining Love" is funded in part by HumanitiesDC, and the larger documentary has raised over $10,000 toward a $20,000 crowdfunding goal, with about $10,000 left to raise.

If you believe these stories deserve to be preserved and shared, we invite you to learn more, share the campaign, or make a tax-deductible contribution here:

https://blacklovedocumentary.allyrafundraising.com/campaigns/14533-a-revolution-called-love

Every donation, share, introduction, and conversation helps us document the voices, wisdom, and lived experiences that make Black Love Day—and the broader movement it represents—so meaningful.

Thanks so much for the involvement and support!
