2023 has been a momentous year for Resource Generation. Making Money Make Change returned to in-person after a four-year hiatus, we raised over $660K during RG’s Fall Drive, we re-launched our first Family Philanthropy Praxis since 2019, brought leaders together from across the country for our Organizing Summit, and have collectively committed to moving over $120 million to movements this year. The impact of our collective organizing is undeniable. 

That’s why as we close out 2023, I have an important ask: If you believe in the power of this work, I invite you to join me in making an additional end-of-year contribution or dues payment! RG, like so many movement organizations on the left, has been facing budget constraints, and we still have $900K (25% of our budget!) to raise before the end of the year. We know that so many of you have supported RG because our work is instrumental in shifting money, minds, and power. As we round the final three weeks of the year, I will be doubling my annual RG dues. Will you join me in helping to close the gap with an additional year-end contribution? If you have any thoughts or want to chat more about this, please email me at [email protected].

In solidarity and power, 

Julia

This candidate will support our base to move resources to social justice movements and participate in campaigns for systemic change. 

The success of a chapter organizer is measured by the strength of our chapters. A strong chapter has a cohesive leadership team, takes action and makes an external impact, and recruits, retains and develops new members with a particular focus on building our base of young people of color with wealth, anti-racist, and anti-classist leadership development with our multiracial base, and building our base of young people with family foundations and who are high net wealth.

RG Boston was glad to host a workshop on Creating a Social Justice Giving Plan on November 29th. We discussed the philanthropy landscape and then created our own plans with clear next steps to move money for justice. We’re looking forward to our in-person HEART House Party and Community Event on Dec. 15th from 6:30-8:30pm and there’s still time to register! Join us to get to know RG Boston and support Cambridge HEART, an alternative to police in our community.

We’ve been slowly but surely recruiting for a BIPOC praxis that will run early 2024, and in the meantime cultivating our community with potlucks and planning for our annual winter holiday party/general meeting 🎉

The FAN team is still actively organizing and fundraising for National Network of Abortion Funds and local abortions. Whatever amount you give, don’t forget to let us know via the Fund Abortion Now Pledge, so that we can see how much RGers have collectively moved to this powerful work

Please reach out to [email protected] if you are interested in joining our team or funding abortions. 

Join RG’s national campaign partner, the Center for Popular Democracy to learn about CPD’s first network-wide campaign to win green social housing. The House Every One! Campaign brings together all 48 affiliates of the CPD network across over 200 cities and 33 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., into one powerful movement for green social housing. Working simultaneously at the local, state, and national level, the possibilities for winning transformational change increase tenfold.

As we continue to fight for a permanent and lasting ceasefire in Palestine, we know that the current genocide unfolding is against the backdrop of 75+ years of occupation backed by the U.S. government and supplied by weapons manufacturing corporations. Between congressional actors who’ve yet to call for a ceasefire and corporations like Lockheed Martin still receiving contracts from the U.S. defense department, we know that the long-term struggle for a Free Palestine, and a world free from genocide, occupation, and war must confront the relationships between militarism and corporations. 

Corporations are making billions while Palestinians are killed by a U.S. funded genocide and occupation. For 20 years the US has spent $21 trillion on militarism: $16 trillion went to the Pentagon and over $7 trillion went to Pentagon contractors like Lockheed Martin.

INSTEAD OF WAR PROFITEERING…That $21 TRILLION could have been used to:

🌱create millions of jobs at $15/hour with benefits and COLA

🌱Fully erase student debt

🌱Guarantee pre-school for every 3 & 4 year old for 10 years AND

🌱Fully decarbonize the electric grid

...leaving over $10 TRILLION more to move towards providing health care, housing, and thriving communities.

We know that a world in which all people can thrive cannot exist without confronting and dismantling the role of U.S. militarism and weapons corporations. Will you join us in this fight? 

We encourage you to consider joining RG as a dues paying member, and if you would like to get involved in your local chapter, please fill out this intake form!
