This month we’re taking a break from a longer intro to the newsletter. As part of our ongoing efforts to promote a culture of care and rest, we’re closing the office next week. Can't wait to continue redistributing wealth with you after our collective recharge. Wishing you all a joyful rest.
RG'S MEMBER-LED FUND ABORTION NOW! CAMPAIGN
[[link removed]]
The Fund Abortion Now! team held an amazing event on August 3rd in which we heard from knowledgeable panelists from the reproductive justice space. We recontextualized the Fund Abortion Now! campaign with a broader view on reproductive justice as a whole. Please read the event notes at tinyurl.com/FANAugustEventNotes [tinyurl.com/FANAugustEventNotes] which includes links to donate to our panelists organizations, the details of what was discussed at the events, and resources shared from our panelists.
We also updated our pledge form to hear about the other ways RGers/their community are assisting with reproductive justice outside of this specific campaign. Please re-submit the form at tinyurl.com/RGReproJusticePledge [tinyurl.com/RGReproJusticePledge] to capture all of the organizing/redistribution work you engage in!
CHAPTER UPDATES
Ohio
RG Ohio recently co-hosted a skillshare on campaign partnerships with the Small & Emerging chapter subscope of the NMC, and it went great! We got to share stories about the incredible work Dayton Unified Power is doing in southern Ohio, discuss best practices for nurturing relationships with campaign partners, brainstorm how small chapters like ours can access bigger pools of resources, and learn from folks who've experienced similar challenges and wins in their own campaigns. Much gratitude and love to everyone who joined us, from Maine to Chicago to Oakland and beyond!
Internationalism Circle
The Progressive International Giving Circle is deep in fundraising mode after 6 months of core sessions learning from folks working on the ground on key progressive issues internationally. Members are doing the work of connecting with our peers to raise consistent funds -- monthly & annual giving!! -- for Progressive International.
Coming soon is an Internationalism 101 space open to all RG members and our international colleagues (Resource Transformation in Germany, Resource Movement in Canada, Resource Justice in the UK). We'll dive into the crucial role of internationalism in building radical power on the left. Watch your email for more info on this event, which will be in September.

Sign-up [[link removed]] We’re Canvassing with Seed the Vote!
October 20th-24th
What : Join the Resource Generation Action branch of Seed the Vote to knock doors and build movement power through the 2022 midterms!
Who : We’re looking for RG members– at large, in chapters, new and old, who have vision and excitement around national campaign work to join us to canvas and build relationships with each other. Fill out the interest for HERE [[link removed]]
When: October 20-24th. Where: Location TBD, likely East Coast. Can’t make it the weekend of Oct 22? Join with other RG members to canvass with Seed the Vote [[link removed]] anytime now until Nov 8th in 7 locations around the country. Come to an open house
Why: As young people with access to wealth, we can show up with more than money– with our hearts and our feet to talk to support movement organizations to invite and absorb new members in key political moments- like elections. Conversations with a voter at the door have been proven to be the most effective thing we can do to get people to vote. In Arizona in 2020, Seed the Vote volunteers had over 16,000 conversations with voters at the door, in a state that was won by only 10,457 votes! More questions about what canvassing will be like? Check out the delegation guide [[link removed]] and this video [[link removed]] .
Who is Seed the Vote?
Seed the Vote is a movement organization that mobilizes to win strategic elections in key battleground states, as part of a broader strategy to push back the right and win systemic change.
They, like RG Action, have no illusions that the Democratic party is a friend of the movement; they are committed to building grassroots movements to fight for dignity and possibilities for people and the planet. They are clear that we must not cede elections to the Right.
Therefore,they work alongside grassroots groups to defeat the immediate threat of the Right, shift the political terrain on which we are fighting, and build grassroots political power for the long haul.

Register [[link removed]] Join RG Cohort for Transformative Justice Course this Fall
This summer, a cohort of 10 RGers participated together in the Spring Up Transformative Justice Course. Addie, a chapter leader in VT shared "This was one of the most humanizing courses I’ve ever taken. As someone who often dehumanizes myself around wealth and class privilege, it contextualized a lot of the work we’re doing at RG and I learned a lot of new skills. The material was grounded in a way of being that I hope for my organizing and activism to be based out of."
Spring Up [[link removed]] is a collective of care workers, transformative justice practitioners, liberatory educators, and coaches practicing and teaching the liberatory arts. They’re running their Transformative Justice course [[link removed]] again this fall. The course will run from September 18th - November 19th and mostly consists of self-paced reading/videos and optional office hours / buddy conversations. The course is an opportunity for folks to learn more about everyday transformative justice tools, the roots of this philosophy and praxis, and build community around abolitionist, consensual, and liberatory ways of being. It’s a seven part course with new content each week and an expectation that you will move at your own pace (and not complete all the content, it’s a lot at times!).
Spring Up is offering Private Group Learning. So along with the pairs and small groups you will be part of in the full course, you will gather with other RGers to discuss how the content specifically relates to our work. We are looking for at least 10 RGers to participate together! Enroll here [[link removed]] and email [email protected] [[email protected]] if you’re interested in joining a RG cohort by Friday, August 26th.
Also, Spring Up is hosting a series of one-day retreats in the fall. Learn more here [[link removed]] .
Conflict Analysis - Friday, 9/16 or Saturday, 9/17
Liberatory Facilitation - Friday, 9/30 or Saturday, 10/1
Harm Systems Design - Friday, 11/11 or Saturday, 11/12

In 5 weeks, you’ll get trained in transformative fundraising and get to practice, get connected to a cohort of people who want to take action, and build with CPD Action to win a majority in Congress that will do more than the bare minimum to keep our planet habitable, but work for a just and resilient economy.

Send Questions to Jane Chung [[email protected]] , Boaz Sender [[email protected]] , Siena Chaing. [[email protected]] P.S. The Hot Labor Summer name doesn’t mean it’s only for the summer.
