History has demonstrated that community organizers are the beating heart of the new future we’re working to build together. Without their energy and labor that has nurtured the movement towards racial, economic, gender, and climate justice, our existences would look radically different.
Yet, for all the impact community organizers have shaped across our state, they are rarely given their flowers, let alone supported financially in any meaningful way.
Since our founding nearly 50 years ago, Seeding Justice has invested in developing leaders throughout the grassroots movement. With this award, we hope to not only ensure our Justice Fellows are able to continue the pivotal work they do in our communities, but also create avenues towards individual and familial care and intergenerational wealth to help support futures to come.
