As our country enters the latest phase of escalating state-sponsored violence, the radical vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—and the organizers who stood alongside him—feels urgently relevant. Dr. King’s politics have too often been stripped of their depth and reduced to soundbites. The holiday in his name is an opportunity to dig deeper and recommit to action for justice.
Bread & Roses Community Fund moves money to grassroots groups organizing for liberation. Those groups build power and fight back to create the world we want to live in. They keep the flame alive.
If you are ready to deepen your commitment, consider joining the Racial & Economic Justice Giving Project, launching February 10. Members engage in political education, build skills in fundraising and grantmaking, and move money to strengthen local movements for change.
Membership in every Giving Project is intentionally diverse. At least half of the members are people of color. Each Giving Project brings participants together across race, class, gender, and generations. Click here to learn more, view the schedule, and complete an interest form.
