Help Winifred raise critical funds for swing states in 2024 with SURJ
Welcome to my donation page! If you're reading this, it's by personal invitation, so thank you for taking a moment.
You likely know I've been participating in activism since at least 2016, whether it be focused on squashing racism, advocating for safe housing, queer and trans rights, accessibility, environmentalism, land-back, or mental health. My activism and organizing is always evolving with the needs of the communities I work to serve, and is multi-faceted. Through this evolution, I've developed core values to support this work. One of those values is abundance > scarcity.
We live in a society that feeds off the idea that everything is scarce; that we must fear losing things we need and cherish because Brown, Black, poor, disabled, queer folks are coming in and taking it. This is a lie. There is enough for every single person. There is space for every single person. Scarcity is a tactic being used to distract and control us, and I'm determined to dismantle it.
With this goal at the forefront of my organizing ethos, in recent years I've turned closely to SURJ. Their organizational culture is built on abundance, and within this organization I can contribute in sustained, meaningful ways across a multitude of issues.
I am, as I'm sure you are, often saddened and anxious by current events. My community at SURJ inspires and reminds me that we are the agents needed to realize lasting change. Collective power is an unmatched tool, and we are organizing to build it. We trust SURJ with building this movement.
This year, SURJ will attempt to have voting conversations with 12 million white voters across six key states. That work requires real funding! These dollars help SURJ pay individuals directly for their organizing labor, their travel, food, and safety. Supporting them monetarily assures that this critical work will continue well beyond the election. It fosters an environment of abundance so that individuals like you and I can move in and out of organizing moments as the constraints on everyday life allow.
Please donate if you're able, and thank you SO much for contributing.
In solidarity,
Winifred
P.S. What does your organizing work look like these days? Give me call! I am excited to connect further and help you deepen your organizing practice.
About SURJ: Welcome to Showing Up for Racial Justice! SURJ was founded in 2009 by two queer white women from Kentucky, responding to the call from Black movement leaders to organize white people within our own communities. Now and together, members are working for a world where racial and economic justice thrive and all communities experience abundance in health, safety, and joy.
