Hello from Sahana, RG High Net Wealth Program Manager!
We are thrilled to remind folks that the applications for RG's Spring 2024 High Net Wealth Praxis cohorts are live and due this Friday, May 10th. Praxis is a political education, reflection and accountability program for cohorts of young people with access to more than $1M in liquid assets or who have influence over family assets of at least $10M.
This Spring, we are thrilled to offer two specialized cohorts: Housing Justice High Net Wealth Praxis in connection with our newly launched national campaign, and Jewish High Net Wealth Praxis in collaboration with our friends at Jewish Liberation Fund.
Learn more about each group below, and see the application pages (linked above) for more information.
Housing Justice HNW Praxis is a cohort designed for those whose wealth emerges from real estate, land ownership, and other related areas. Those who are interested in housing justice are also encouraged to apply. This cohort will connect closely to RG's recently launched national campaign on housing flanking the Center for Popular Democracy House Everyone Campaign. Learn more about our Housing Campaign here. HNW Praxis will be facilitated by Cheyenna Weber and Kira Felsenfeld.
Jewish HNW Praxis is a cohort designed for self-identified Jewish folks. This cohort is offered by RG with support and collaboration from Jewish Liberation Fund. Jewish HNW Praxis will be facilitated by Valeriya Epshteyn and Joanna Ware. This offering is driven, in part, by the groundswell of progressive Jewish organizing towards a ceasefire and long term safety and liberation for Palestinians. As Jewish organizers and activists have mobilized across ecosystems to demonstrate how their Jewish values compel them to act for a future of safety and liberation for all people, to reject either/or binaries that pit the safety of Jews against Palestinians, and that do not align with the current agenda of the Israeli government or major US Jewish institutions, we have witnessed Jewish RG members and JLF donors continuing and growing their commitment to this work, while also ensuring the flow of resources to movement infrastructure and crisis needs such as Gaza evacuation funds.
I will be hosting two more drop in hours this week for folks who would like to learn more and ask questions about either Praxis cohort. If you’d like to be sent a calendar invite for the drop in hour you will attend, email [email protected].
- Wednesday, May 8th 8-9PM ET
- Thursday, May 9th 10-11:30AM ET
All drop-ins will be held at this Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2160167702?pwd=SlByN2VRT0JEcTJ3WXdkUzQ4R1hpZz09
Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me. Thank you so much, we can't wait to have folks join these exciting cohorts!
In solidarity,
Sahana
