Hi John, 

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Groundswell Action Fund has honored Karundi Williams, our Executive Director, as one of their 2024 Vanguard Legacy Awardees. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it celebrates leaders who advance justice in our communities through bold and innovative action.
 
Karundi was recognized as The Empowerment Champion, a leader who prioritizes uplifting and empowering others, especially those from marginalized communities, fostering a culture of inclusivity and equity.

This award aligns with re:power's work of expanding liberatory organizing practices rooted in community, collective action, and the belief in abundance for all. With Karundi's leadership, re:power has grown its annual budget from $3.1 million to $6.1 million and expanded its staff from 11 to 25 members. This reflects her commitment to building a strong and purposeful organization for future leaders of color.
 
As part of our community, we invite you to celebrate our leader and share ways Karundi has impacted you!

Thank you again for being a part of this journey with us!

In solidarity,

The re:power Team
