Peoples who have endured centuries of efforts to eradicate them, who continue their lifeways, foodways, spiritual and traditional practices have much to offer and teach those of us living in, descended from settler colonialist cishetereopatriarchal capitalist etcetc oppressive cultures. There is a path back to health and wholeness and proven sustainable helps us to find it. Thank you.

SF Bay Area's housing shortage has created extreme inequality. Municipalities refuse to take responsibility. My friend Sonja made CaRLA to sue cities that break state law, refusing to build - a high-leverage way to reshape CA, literally.

Talks with Indigenous and Maroon people and their supporters to challenge our conscious and unconscious colonized thinking.

Proven Sustainable Conversations are for those who want to take tangible actions to help our planet, engage in deep reflections, and discuss broader systems, histories and beliefs that influence our sustainability struggles and pursuits. 

It’s a virtual gathering ground for those who are worn out and weary from modern prioritizations of power, separation, control, and ceaseless doing.

We are here to acknowledge, honor, learn from, and support those who have survived the tests of climate changes and the attacks of settler colonialism and modernity for centuries. 

The conversations are an extension of [provensustainable.org](https://provensustainable.org/) where there are 200+ free education resources featuring Indigenous and Maroon-inspired advocates for ancestral wisdom and Earth harmony to support inquiry-driven learning and dialogue.

Our ancient ancestral beliefs about being human on a living earth have been carried forward by these communities of indomitable survivors whose lives as first Peoples have been grounded in unity, order, wisdom, skill and compassion. 

It is not enough to merely study them.

We must stand with them as they continue their ongoing efforts to survive systemic injustices and champion holistic environmental projects.  

This is an invitation to connect, to learn and to [take action](https://provensustainable.org/take-action) for, together, we may just be the saving remnants this time around.

California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund is working to restore a legal environment in which CA builds housing equal to its needs.

California state law prevents cities from denying housing proposals that comply with objective zoning standards, general plans and environmental laws.

In practice, cities often deny housing proposals anyways because there is no statewide enforcement agency. New housing production inevitably plays a role in the lives of California renters. Denial of housing proposals means fewer options available to renters as our population grows and our rental stock ages; Home owners have housing security while renters depend on new housing.

Cities that deny housing proposals are denying renters a home in California. 

CaRLA is a 501(c)3 that holds municipal governments accountable when acting in violation of California State laws. We pursue legal action where developers have not, bringing suit against cities that fail to approve compliant housing. We work for California’s renters, not homeowner wealth.

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.

Lanka Jatika Sarvodaya Shramadana Sangamaya Inc., ![](https://give2asia.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DisasterLink-member-badge-v3-300x98.png)also known as Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement (Sarvodaya), is the largest and most broadly embedded community-based organization in Sri Lanka. The Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement is a unique people's self-help organization inspired by the Gandhian ideals of truth, non-violence, and service for all. Sarvodaya seeks a no-poverty society in Sri Lanka through an integrated, holistic approach to development, which includes spiritual, moral, cultural, social, economic, and political development. Today, the Sarvodaya Movement has a proven history of exceptional accomplishments, a strong organizational structure with 26 District Centers, and a formidable outreach, which encompasses 15,000 villages across Sri Lanka.



Originally centered on an educational initiative linking students, teachers, and remote Sri Lankan communities, the movement promoted self-help. Over nine years, this "service-learning program" expanded into a development movement across hundreds of villages, pursuing broad and nonviolent social transformation. In its initial 15 years, Sarvodaya primarily relied on volunteer labor, mainly from beneficiaries, with minimal external aid or state backing. Notably, it played a pivotal role in post-tsunami reconstruction following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. 
Sarvodaya operates at various levels—local, regional, and national—in Sri Lanka, with its current focus on 12 districts, namely Kalutara, Rathnapura, Matara, Galle, Colombo, Gampaha, Mullaitivu, Vavuniya, Mannar, Anuradhapura, Kilinochchi, and Ampara. Moreover, Sarvodaya has the potential to expand its work to encompass 25 districts across Sri Lanka. Presently, Sarvodaya collaborates with Give2Asia for disaster response and recovery efforts, although they have not received any disaster grants from Give2Asia so far. The organization has responded to more than five disaster events and is currently engaged in an ongoing project with a focus on disaster mitigation and training volunteer groups. The key objectives of this project are: 
1. Enhancing community-based disaster risk reduction to decrease vulnerabilities to natural disasters.
2. Strengthening the disaster mitigation capacities of communities to alleviate social and economic shocks caused by natural disasters.
3. Building the disaster resilience of communities to effectively withstand and recover from the impacts of natural disasters.


With Sarvodaya's expertise spanning Emergency Relief and Response, Livelihood Recovery, and Disaster Risk Reduction, coupled with their extensive experience since the 1970s in humanitarian and empowerment issues, as well as the support of a skilled human resource consisting of around 20 staff members covering districts and the headquarters, and more than 600 trained youth volunteers placed in the mentioned 12 districts with proper training and skills. With all these resources and capabilities, Sarvodaya is well-equipped to respond to disaster events in Sri Lanka.

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.

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.

The ICJ is a unique legal NGO that shapes international laws to protect human rights, and makes sure these laws are used.

Over the past 70 years, our work has benefited the lives of millions of people - including yours. 

We have been responsible for building and strengthened the legal processes need to protect human rights globally. But as growing authoritarianism threatens decades of progress, we are asking **you** to help ensure that this continues, and that judges and lawyers can stand up to political pressure and protect the rights of ordinary people. 

With your support, cases that decide whether a journalist goes to prison, whether survivors of abuse are heard, or whether a child faces persecution can be fought - and won. Your donation translates into **real freedoms restored, fair trials secured, and systemic reforms that protect millions long after your gift is given**.

Without your support, the rule of law will erode more quickly and more quietly. Judges silenced, activists prosecuted, and communities left without justice are not just stories — they are the frontline of whether or not the law can still protect us. If the ICJ cannot step in, those who abuse the law to silence dissent or enrich themselves will succeed. If we lose ground on the decades of progress made since the Second World War, there will be lasting consequences for those who have nowhere else to turn.

Around the world, democratic institutions are under unprecedented attack. Supporting the ICJ now means ensuring independent courts and legal systems survive the current wave of repression, so that the law will protect, rather than persecute. The urgency is not abstract — the next few years will determine whether rights roll back for decades to come.

The ICJ is trusted by governments, bar associations, leading foundations, UN agencies,  and civil society groups worldwide — but perhaps most tellingly, by **judges, lawyers and human rights defenders themselves**. When their safety is at risk, they turn to the ICJ for expertise and solidarity. 

We work shoulder to shoulder with national partners in over 30 countries, supporting the drafting and adoption of landmark human rights treaties and conventions, submitting legal interventions in domestic and international courts, providing legal education and training on human rights law, and building networks of lawyers and judges committed to upholding the rule of law.

By donating, you will be joining a global community of institutions and individuals who support the ICJ's critical work.

The ICJ's Commissioners are serving or former senior judges, lawyers, and legal academics from all legal traditions, selected for their experience, knowledge and fundamental commitment to human rights. Their pro bono support gives the ICJ's legal teams unique credibility and influence with governments, courts, and international organizations. We speak with the unbaised authority of legal scholars, not just as an advocacy group.

Justice Nest vision is to Advance a fair, family-centric and accessible justice system in Kenya.

Justice Nest is a newly registered charity (MARCH 2024). The founder is an experienced Kenyan advocate who has worked in the non-profit for over 17 years focusing on child rights, women's right, human rights and access to Justice. While working in the system, she witnessed the effect of the justice system on families and has decided to step in to prevent further family disintegration by the justice system.

Justice Nest is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring access to justice for vulnerable families and individuals in Kenya. We aim to protect and restore families in contact with the justice system, focusing on women, children, and prisoners. Justice Nest is a family-centered, holistic justice non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring families in contact with the justice system.  **Our mission is to transform the justice system and strengthen families by promoting policies and practices that reduce reliance on incarceration.** We provide legal education, holistic representation and advocate for community-based alternatives to prosecution through partnerships. We advocate for restorative and holistic justice, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive the support and resources they need to thrive. We envision a society where the justice system prioritizes the well-being of families, actively interrupting the cycle of family disintegration and preventing the pipeline to prison.

At Justice Nest, we recognize the complexity of the justice system and its role in perpetuating family disintegration and poverty. Our **Mother and Children Restorative justice program** aim to address the root causes that lead women and children into conflict with the law, such as poverty, trauma, and lack of familial support. By working closely with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the judiciary, we advocate for alternatives to prosecution and provide pathways for rehabilitation and reintegration.

Our **Prison paralegal program** seeks to bridge the justice gap.  Access to legal representation is a fundamental right, yet many prisoners in Kenya face significant barriers in obtaining adequate legal assistance. 90% of those in prison do not have access to legal services. To put it in perspective, with a prison population of over 55,000, about 50,000 of those barely have hope that they will leave the system. This problem is multifaceted and involves issues of availability, affordability, and systemic inefficiencies. There is no office of public defenders in Kenya to meet the demand at the state level. A majority of lawyers are based in urban areas, making it difficult for prisoners in rural regions to access legal help. "*The ratio of lawyers to the population in Kenya is alarmingly low, especially in rural areas where legal services are almost non-existent.*" - Law Society of Kenya

Equal Justice Initiative

Reshape America's pretrial system. 100% of online donations are used to post bail and bring people home.

Fight mass incarceration by paying bail for Americans and offering needed support. We believe that paying bail for someone in need is an act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and movements for decarceration. Over the next five years, The Bail Project will open dozens sites in high-need jurisdictions with the goal of paying bail for tens of thousands of low-income Americans, all while collecting stories and data that prove money bail is not necessary to ensure people return to court. We won’t stop until meaningful change is achieved and the presumption of innocence is no longer for sale.
