Emergent Fund was made for times like this. We know white supremacist attacks on abortion, on Buffalo's beloved Black community, and on trans-youth are all interconnected parts of their long-arc plan.
"We Protect Us" has always ours. Our existence, our joy, our self-determination are a threat to them. We won't let them win.
That's why we're mobilizing $440,000 TODAY to meet the rapid response needs of Black and brown reproductive justice organizers on the ground ASAP. And, that's just this week alone 😭. Whatever you can chip in will go direct to the frontlines. And, we're in this for the long-haul! Emergent Fund is powered by two queer Black and brown women who fundraise for every dollar we regrant out. We invite you to sustain our grantees -- new and old -- by becoming a monthly donor.
Without you and rapid response funding, movements can't transform crisis and moveable moments into mass sustained power.
We're there when movement needs us. And, so far, rapid response needs are coming in fast with other funders sending folks our way and trusting and depending on us to move money in ways they can't.
As one of the few no-strings-attached movement funders led by and for organizers that is continuously open, Emergent Fund is the go-to trusted rapid response fund for tumultuous times like these. Every dollar we raise will go directly to the frontlines.
Thank you for moving money to Black, Indigenous, Women of Color and movement-building (community organizing, base-building and mobilization) organizations led by women, trans, queer and gender expansive folks of color.
