A very important cause, tool and resource for all!

At 540WMain, we curate diverse brave spaces and antiracist content that educates all people. Participants come to our organization from all walks of life and learning levels to gain an understanding of how systemic racism impacts everyone in the communities they live in. While our learners join us from all over the world, they often connect on one common theme: lack of access to antiracism and social justice education before taking our classes.

As we celebrate our 5th anniversary and a transition to an e-learning platform, we ask our community to enable us to keep providing this much-needed education well into the future. In the coming year, 540WMain needs your support to expand our programming, with new antiracist education and first-of-its-kind virtual accessibility. This includes the addition of Spanish language interpreting, the creation of 10 new classes, and the development of a 4H program in support of youth development from an antiracist lens. 

Your support can help us tell the full story; it can help us teach about topics that are too often neglected or essentialized in traditional sectors of education. And it can ensure we do so with the diverse accessibility needs of our community at the center of it. 

Can we count on our community to come together in support of education rooted in antiracism and accessibility? Any amount helps in getting us to our goal of $10,000.

Every workshop and panel I have experienced with 540WMain has been absolutely essential in my antiracism journey. So thankful for Calvin and his team!

Happiest of birthdays to the incredible woman Tina Roh! Your drive towards creating an impact is inspirational to witness and I'm so blessed to be a part of your life <3 

540WMain ran a Decolonizing Philanthropy workshop for the Every.org team. Calvin and the rest of the folks at 540WMain were fantastic teachers and facilitators. I really value the work they are doing and am excited for future workshops.

The Every.org team took a workshop from Calvin on Decolonizing Philanthropy from them, and learned a lot. Check out their resources on their site, including some classes on https://vimeo.com/540wmain!

Thank you to Calvin for an incredibly thought-provoking and motivating workshop!

Happy birthday @Tina! Always inspired by you! 

I appreciate the community education that 540WMain provides to the community. I’ve learned so much from Calvin & crew, sending them a “birthday present” was the least I could do for the transformative support they provide. 

540WMain provides awesome, accessible learning opportunities!

Co-founder & CTO @ Every.org. Especially excited by small nonprofits doing big things for underprivileged people and our planet.

I believe in gratitude+action and that together we can build a better world. Have the best job as Cofounder at Every.org :)

For my birthday this year and in honor for Black History Month, I'm asking for people to join me in supporting 540WMain. I've never met a team so dedicated to pursuing justice for all, and I believe their approach is what can truly heal this country and make us better people towards each other and our world. They make their online education approachable and accessible to everyone with pay-what-you-can pricing, and every class is ASL interpreted. 

Their antiracism education platform has personally allowed me to learn so much this past year– from Intro to Antiracism, Understanding Cultural Appropriation, to Decolonizing Philanthropy. They invite discourse and openly welcome learners at all levels, while challenging people to think critically and nudging them out of their comfort zones. The safe virtual environment they've created during the pandemic is so welcome (and essential). I'm especially thankful as someone who is still learning about our history and present context, and unlearning so much of the racist and colonialist programming embedded in our culture. I believe this sort of platform and conversation is crucial in our country— to heal our traumas and do better.

Join me so we can help them expand their programming and virtual accessibility! They also work with companies and youth. "Your support can help us tell the full story; it can help us teach about topics that are too often neglected or essentialized in traditional sectors of education. And it can ensure we do so with the diverse accessibility needs of our community at the center of it."
