NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO CEDE OUR POWER.
This Giving Tuesday, 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. In 2025, they'll need us more than ever to be ready.
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
~ $400(K) to help us stretch to meet the all-time high volume of rapid response organizing needs we received since November. This past month's grant cycle had close to 90 proposals with over $1.8M in organizing needs (yes, million just for this month alone).
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 fundraised hard to be able to 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?
