Dear {{Constituent First Name}},
The TRUST Network was formed in 2020 with a foundational belief that early warning ecosystems must be community-grounded and community-driven. Over the last four years, the Network has grown immensely and includes organizations and networks across all four sectors (structural reformers, civil resistance movements, peacebuilding/bridgebuilding, and judiciary and legal sector). We are honored to share with you the official launch of the TRUST Network Early Warning Early Action Ecosystemat our October 8th, 2024 stakeholder meeting at 2:00pm ET. Mads Palihapitiya, Lead Analyst and Co-Convenor of the TRUST Network, will give our stakeholders an exclusive, detailed overview of the new platform and how it uniquely positions civil society. As part of the ecosystem, our 10 TRUST+ sites across the U.S. have also partnered with us to develop an asset mapping matrix tool which allows them to create an interactive inventory of all the early action levers they currently have in their communities. As Mads will share, the ecosystem places early warning and early action into conversation with one another; a novel and invaluable approach to civil society-led reporting.
