*these will evolve as new info emerges with priority for direct local organizing asks.
If you do choose to donate at this link, Emergent Fund will work collectively with our movement funder peers to ensure strategic, consentful, and just distribution of any dollars raised. In times like theses, our frontline rapid response fund is one of the few open, assessible, no-strings-attached organizing dollars for frontline movement orgs when they need us. We always will flank local leadership to minimize burden.
Flexible rapid response funding
is critical to give our communities space to grieve, resist urgency, and meaningfully meet directly impacted families. Anti-Asian violence has become more visible but we painfully know it's far from new. Emergent Fund has mobilized grants to API organizing with deep roots in and across communities and deep relationships in solidarity, abolitionist, and multiracial organizing. Many of our Asian Movement Organizing Grantees often are excluded, overlooked, or not funded at all because of who they are and the high-risk work they lead.
In the Lunar New Year tradition of good luck money envelopes, we think there’s no greater way to make our own luck and manifest our vision in 2023 than funding API movement building. The Lunar New Year between January 22 - February 5th is a deeply auspicious time. Your actions shape your year so beginning with deepened commitment to collective liberation, generosity and abundance sets you on the path to be a formidable force for good in 2023.
