I GAVE BECAUSE I CANNOT STAND BY WHILE OUR COUNTRY IS LOOSING OUR DEMOCRACY TO A TIN HORNED DICTATOR WANNABE.  ICE IS EIRILY THE SAME AS HILTER'S SS.  WE KNOW HOW THE THIRD REICH ENDED UP.  WE DON'T NEED TO LEARN THAT LESSON AGAIN AND PUT OUR WAY OF LIFE ON THE LINE.

I am donating to help cover the funds that the self-centered white house has decided to hoard for itself. I hope yhe funds collected can tide over our community until we can oust the president and all the grifters making life so difficult for our immigrant families. 

I support you in honor of my immigrant father and his family, who fled Northern Ireland during The Troubles to escape the very injustices Trump is now foisting on us in the US. 

Many Americans are horrified by the ICE and Border and Customs patrol illegally and violently targeting civilians.  We stand with you against this abuse of power.  We are all immigrants!

This is not a blue or red issue. It is a right or wrong issue and we must all unite to keep our democracy.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. ❤️🙏🏻

Long live ATA and its global community!!!

An urgent lifeline to local organizations providing legal and bond support to immigrant families and individuals who need it most.

**The Defending Our Neighbors Fund is powered by everyday people, like you, stepping up and building a vital lifeline to support our immigrant neighbors, loved ones, and communities against injustice.**

We all deserve to be treated fairly and with dignity. Yet every day, immigrant families are forced to navigate a complex and punishing immigration system alone, **without access to legal counsel**. Even young children, the most vulnerable members of our communities, are facing trained prosecutors without anyone by their side.

**This is why the Defending Our Neighbors Fund exists.** 

Today, there are more than 6 million U.S. households who have a family member at risk of detention or deportation. Right now, the federal government is funneling $170 billion of our taxpayer dollars to dramatically increase enforcement in our cities, all while slashing funding for legal service organizations who provide critical support for immigrants and make sure they have access to a lawyer. The Defending Our Neighbors Fund is a rapid-response effort to meet this urgent need for legal representation head-on, working to ensure families have access to life-saving legal support, and when possible, bond assistance.

**Access to legal representation makes a profound difference in whether families can stay together.**

As people's due process rights continue to be violated — affecting tens of thousands of people who are immigrants, children, and even U.S. citizens and green card holders — the need for legal counsel is skyrocketing. Studies show that in 2024, there were more than 2.5 million cases in immigration court where people did not have legal representation. Having access to a lawyer is often the difference between a family staying together or being separated indefinitely. 

To meet the ballooning demand in this moment, the Defending Our Neighbors Fund is quickly deploying high-impact grants to trusted organizations providing legal and, when possible, bond assistance to communities in need, this includes organizations that are:

- Serving communities with large immigrant populations
- Serving communities in legal deserts, and
- Serving communities near some of the country’s most active immigration detention and processing centers

**In this moment of division, we must all come together to defend our neighbors.** 

Supported by United We Dream and the ACLU, the Defending Our Neighbors Fund is hosted by Abundant Futures Fund (a fiscally sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors), and aims to raise and deploy $30 million to grassroots organizations to meet this crisis with action and care.

**We, the people, will power this movement with small dollar contributions. Your donation supports trusted organizations providing legal representation and, when possible, bond assistance, to communities in need.**

Thank you for helping us defend our communities at such a critical moment. Your support makes all the difference.

Organized volunteers providing outreach to unhoused folks with urgent relief: warmth, food, humanity, and  connection to services.

Town Bizness exists to bring the necessities of a dignified human life to the unhoused population of Oakland and Berkeley, CA. 
These necessities include good food, reliable shelter, clothing, toiletries, bedding, and basic creature comforts such as safe propane stoves and heaters, radios, and more, depending on each client’s needs. 

We also assist with housing, and keeping folks connected to service providers by supplying telephones and monthly service. 

The majority of folks we serve were born where they now live in tents, and once had property ownership in their families here in the bay area, but no longer do. Most are seniors, and many of them are now sick and/or disabled.

Championing Africa's Climate Entrepreneurs

Africa contributes about 4% of global emissions, [and just 1.6% ](https://energyforgrowth.org/article/sub-saharan-africa-emits-a-tiny-fraction-of-the-worlds-co2/)when South Africa is excluded, yet its people face some of the harshest climate impacts. Still, across the continent, communities hold deep ecological knowledge, powerful ingenuity, and proven solutions. What holds them back is not ideas but unequal access to visibility, resources, and decision-making power.

AfroClimate exists to change that.

We seek to amplify and directly invest in Africa’s visionary climate innovators; including community-based organizations, youth groups, and climate-tech entrepreneurs who are restoring ecosystems, strengthening livelihoods, and building resilience from the ground up.

In our approach, we start with communities. We co-create solutions with partners who already understand their land, their people, and the climate challenges they face. We have six pillars to support grassroots innovations to become scalable models of climate resilience and climate justice: capacity building, funding access, impact measurement, market linkages, visibility & storytelling, and specialist mentorship.

With our footprint across 10 African countries, and a network of partners such as PowerStove in Nigeria, Mena Tsook in Madagascar, and Green World Campaign in Kenya, we have achieved remarkable progress in just one year: improving over 50,000 lives, preserving thousands of trees, installing 100 beehives, raising over $700,000 in investment, and advancing clean energy, conservation, and sustainable livelihood solutions across the continent. 

When you give to AfroClimate, you are fueling leadership that is restoring ecosystems in Africa and championing a climate-resilient future led by those closest to the solutions.

Join us in scaling community-driven climate action across the continent.

Community Works seeks to transform justice through programs and policies rooted in humanity and healing. 

**Who We Are?** 

Launched over 25 years ago as a source of innovation, Community Works serves people along the spectrum of justice system involvement. Our community includes currently/formerly incarcerated and system-impacted people, the majority of whom are Black or brown and low-income, including youth at risk for incarceration or whose parents are incarcerated. 

**What We Do?** 

CW prevents young people from entering criminal legal systems and improves outcomes for any who do by transforming justice at both the individual and systemic levels. We seek to move away from a systems-centered paradigm of safety and justice reliant on ineffective punitive measures and instead toward community-centered approaches that focus on equity, accountability, relationships, and healing.
