NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO CEDE OUR POWER.
Let’s draw inspiration from Audre Lorde: “Without community, there is no liberation.” Let’s choose both community and liberation. Let’s choose to fund our movements and trust in the collective power of our people to build the just futures we all deserve.
Emergent Fund is committed to changing the material conditions for our working class movements. As we move forward, we need each other and Emergent Fund needs your support.
Here’s the direct impact you would make with us:
~ $5 monthly commitment to fulfill the 3x resource need increase from Black, Brown, and Indigenous women leading change on the frontlines
~ $25 to sustain the operational infrastructure for our critical trans-liberation rapid response fund to be ready to fight back no matter what attacks come our way 🏳️⚧️
~ $50 of which more than 50% will go directly to queer and trans Black women organizers
~ $100 to support this resourcing labor of love that is 100% led by queer and trans movement organizers of color
~ $400(K) to help us stretch to meet the all-time high volume of rapid response organizing needs we received since November. Emergent Fund has received received 2X its requests from 2024 and we have increased our grantmaking by 50% to try and respond to this moment - but its not enough.
Join us in standing in our full power and making sure our commitments to each other are as strong as our commitment to our movements. Our small team of seven is working hard to stretch and regrant WAY above our budgeted goal of $250,000 each round this year. BUT we need you to fully fund the demand we actually get as one of the few open, accessible, no strings attached funders for movement in these times.
Can we count on you to throw down alongside us and fund organizers fighting for our now and our future?
