Sowing a Feminist Future

March is a time in which we focus on women as the beating heart of social change. This month we joined allies and partners in launching the Berta Cáceres International Feminist Organizing School.

Empire, Anti-Asian Violence and the Challenge of Democracy

The horrifying violence we witnessed against Asian women in Atlanta has its roots in empire, land and labor. Solidarity voices have risen loudly and broadly in the wake of the murders, calling for an end to the systems and structures responsible.

No Apologies Needed: Every Gift Adds Up

Admin staff-member Sam Yoon replies to the apologies they get from grassroots donors. There's no need for "I'm sorry." Every single gift adds up.

Keeping Hope Alive in Palestine

Longtime activist and Grassroots supporter Nancy Murray believes we should be hopeful for Palestine. More people want to take a stand for justice.

Smart Support for Tax Season

Justice requires longterm solidarity and partnership. Today, longterm support via your IRA (if you're 70.5 years or older) has never been easier.

The required minimum distribution (RMD) was waived in 2020, but it is back in effect in 2021. And for the first time, you can create your IRA gift entirely online. Learn more at the link below.

EVENT: Behind the Scenes: Palestine, the ICC, and the Struggle for Justice

On Tuesday, April 6, at 12 noon ET, please join us for an important webinar on Palestine, the ICC and the struggle for justice.

In February, the International Criminal Court (ICC) made a historic ruling that it has jurisdiction in Palestine. In March, the ICC announced it had opened an investigation of human rights abuses committed during Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza. Meanwhile, the Biden administration so far has upheld a Trump executive order that criminalizes and sanctions ICC investigations against the U.S. and its allies. What does this all mean for Palestinians on the ground, and the solidarity movement in the United States?
