Dear members and supporters,
This year called us to move in collective action while holding the contradictions of grief, resistance, and reckoning. The overlapping crises we’re experiencing and witnessing test our resilience and that of our communities, both at home and abroad.
These include the horrific genocide resourced by our taxes to the impacts of imperialism reverberating in Haiti, Congo, Sudan, and beyond, layered with intensifying climate crises, economic precarity, and a consolidation of right-wing fascist forces.
Like us, you may have asked the people close to you: What do you need to be ok in these times, and what’s the best move to take together?
Given these devastating realities, despair is tempting, but we know the antidote is to build movements that can meet the moment and stand the test of time.
Will you support GGJ in building movements that weather the storm of late-stage capitalism, fascism, imperialism, and all other forms of oppression?
As movements, we exposed these crises as manufactured conditions to the public consciousness and are demonstrating liberatory solutions and alternatives. We will keep fighting for a just future with a feminist, anti-racist, and regenerative economy.
To do this, we need your support on these tactics:
Shared campaigning to shift conditions
We are developing a democratic, membership-led campaign to divest from military funding and invest in grassroots resiliency to withstand climate disasters. Imagine what is possible when we stop funding the war machine and focus on the care and resources our communities need!
Skilled organizers for now and the future
GGJ is building a Transformative Organizing School in collaboration with Right to the City Alliance to train conscious organizers on how to grow movements to a scale that changes systems.
Solidarity and shared learning across borders and movements
We are expanding the reach and impact of our International Feminist Organizing School, training a growing number of grassroots feminist leaders to replicate the school in regions across the U.S., MesoAmerica, and East and Southern Africa.
Skilled approach to electoral power
GGJ hired a Civic Engagement Director this year and we are partnering with civic engagement efforts and our sister organization, GGJ Action Fund.
Strong united fronts to build the bigger we
We hold a leadership role in the Rising Majority formation which is cohering a broad cross-section of U.S.-based social movements in collective action during the first 100 days of the next administration and developing a 10-year building power strategy and unified vision for 2050.
This is long-term work that goes beyond any 24-hour news cycle or four-year electoral cadence. Engaging in this deeply requires collective support and resourcing. We ask that you make a donation today to continue this work of building movements with the power to change systems of harm into systems of care.
Thank you, deeply, for your support and being in this struggle with us. Together, we will strengthen movements to meet the moments ahead!
In Solidarity,
Roxanne Lawson, Co-Deputy Director, Organizational Strategy
