This is not a time to step back.

It is a time for deep alignment, sharper focus and bold investment.

Equity and justice are not radical. They are basic democratic values.

The Pooled Fund aims to distribute an additional $15 million over the next five years, supporting Black-led organizing as well as organizing that addresses the impact of deeply rooted anti-Blackness

Communities are organizing in the face of mounting legal, political and economic attacks. They are developing community leadership and mobilizing neighbors while building the people-power to deliver tangible improvements and long-term change. Their work holds communities together and pushes systems forward.
