As we read national and international headlines, it can feel like there is little hope in the face of a globalized neoliberal capitalism, as well as a metastasizing neo-fascist right. One of the most powerful actions we can take is to build power and resilience within our own communities, focusing first on those who are most vulnerable. We invite you to learn more about the following organizations doing this work—and to join us in the struggle!
