As you can see, the support of this grassroots team goes toward so many important community organizing events and progressive efforts across the country — specifically in regions that are often underfunded and overlooked by national organizations.

So whether you want your dollars to help elect progressive women, create safe spaces for LGBTQ folks, or allow emerging activists to attend trainings and connect with other organizers, know that by pitching in to Groundwork Project, you’re doing all of that and more.

Folks, chip in today so that we can continue expanding our mini-grantee program to include even more groups working year-round to build grassroots power: [[link removed]]
