Thanks to the Prelinger Library for all your work keeping information and culture alive and not letting all human knowledge dissolve into a sea of Google search results and LLM training data.

The Prelinger Library is a well-kept secret, but it shouldn’t be. Anyone who values research, critical thinking, and obscure but fascinating sources should, and can, support it. As should anyone who values its special position in San Francisco arcana. 

I am proud to contribute to this incredible space that inspires so much hope.

Investing in organizations that strengthen our support networks ensures every person can live authentically and without fear. The ECC’s commitment to providing resources, affordable housing, and a collaborative hub for advocacy helps keep our community resilient and strong.

As the world is on fire, your work is a lightening rod of care and concern.

BAGLY and SWAGLY have had a huge influence on the life of my teenage child, and I want other youth to have the same support.

A community-supported independent library & artist workshop of printed material, fiscally sponsored by Intersection for the Arts.

The Prelinger Library in San Francisco offers thousands of historical maps, zines, documents, books and other materials, all of which are available for artists to reference or reuse. Its collections serve activists, writers, musicians, composers, poets, novelists, journalists, and historians. The Library was established in 2004 and has served over ten thousand reserach visits. Its collections have supported the production of artists talks series, films, novels as well as open-ended explorations by people working across all media types. As a 100% community-supported project, the Library s free to pursue equity and justice, abolition and libration, and to serve the community as a trans- and queer-safe space and infoshop for survival and resistance. The Library puts hospitality first and offers sparkling water or tea to every visitor.

The collections also hold government-produced documents from eras when artists and writers were widely employed in their production, offering art and literature in unexpected places as well as roadmaps toward civil societies. With stacks materials ranging from eighteenth century documents to works produced this week, the room serves as a slip in spacetime within which a couple hundred years of human experience and experiments can be browsed. Library hosts represent a range of subject-matter expertises including public transportation, radio science, zine making, natural history, library science, book arts, moving image history and production, and nonfiction writing.

The Library also exists as an experiment in analog–digital hybridity. Its [stacks can be explored remotely here](https://prelingerlibrary.org/stacks/v2/) (please press the STARS button for maximum experience). Many items that have been digitized can be accessed through browsing Stacks Explorer, or directly at our portal at [Internet Archive,](https://archive.org/details/prelinger_library/v2&tab=collection) our longtime ally in the fight for free access to cultural materials.

The Library is currently open for drop-in visits three days a week in San Francisco. Please [visit our website](https://prelingerlibrary.org/home/) to check the current open hours when planning your visit. Information about artist residencies, more about the history of the Library, and information about the people behind the project can all be found on the website.

The Library's founders also operate a sibling organization in parallel, which is a film archives (Prelinger Archives). Moving image materials from the archives can be accessed through its [portal at Internet Archive here. ](https://archive.org/details/prelinger)

Our mission is to protect LGBTQ+ youth in Poland from the harms of homelessness and refugeehood. 

The Warsaw House Foundation's mission is to protect homeless and refugee  LGBTQ+ youth in Poland and provide them with the tools they need to live independently. Our inspiration was the  Ali Forney Center  (AFC)  n NYC, which is largest organization in the world offering support to homeless LGBTQ+ youth. We are honored that Carl Siciliano, the AFC's founder is on the board of the Warsaw House Foundation and works as an advisor. We place extra attention on HIV and STI education, support and prevention with the help of board member Dr. Joanna Kubica and the Smart Life Clinic in Warsaw.  After we took in our first LGBTQ+ youth to house on February 14th, 2023  we have been flooded with calls for housing and support from young people in need.  These are Polish Trans 18 year-olds from the Polish countryside in desperate need to escape their abusive and intolerant homes, young queer people with PTSD and untreated mental illness who need housing and support immediately, LGBTQ+ refugees from Ukraine and several young gay men from Iraq who suffered torture in their homeland, were detained and imprisoned at the Polish/Belarussian border for up to two years, and are now trying to build their lives in Poland.  We are also housing and supporting young LGBTQ+ people from Uganda and Egypt,  We are raising money to support the young people under our care, to house and feed them and pay for their medical needs and courses needed for them to start an independent life,  We are also raising money to hire staff (all of WH's work is now done by volunteers), to continue the renovation of our residential building and for short term emergency rentals.  We have a committed and professional team and a well planned strategy for both emergency and long term care.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! We will be in regular contact if you'd like to hear of our progress and  if you'll be in Warsaw, we'd be delighted to meet with you personally and show you the work we do.

We are a coalition of faith leaders, people of faith, and faith institutions advancing inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in Uganda. 

The Universal Coalition of Affirming Africans Uganda (UCAA-UG) is a coalition of faith leaders, people of faith, and faith-based institutions working to advance human rights and inclusion of marginalised communities in Uganda, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals, by leveraging the power of faith. Uganda is a deeply religious country, with over 95% of the population affiliated with a faith tradition, according to the 2024 population census. Despite this, LGBTQ+ people continue to face widespread discrimination, often justified through religious rhetoric. 

UCAA-UG seeks to address this by challenging faith-based stigma and promoting inclusive spiritual leadership. Our programs include dialogue sessions with faith leaders on issues related to same-sex relationships, supporting families in reconciling with their LGBTQ+ members, helping LGBTQ+ individuals reconcile their faith and sexuality, awareness campaigns, and providing socio-economic support for LGBTQ+ people who are displaced due to their identity.

Activating kindness in the next generation

One in three children will be bullied this year.  It could be yours.  It could be the child of someone you know.  The effects can last a lifetime.

We need to take action now to prevent the bullying and cyberbullying that so many of us endured when we were at school. Your support allows us to bring our award winning No Bully program to schools everywhere.  Teachers and school leaders trained by us are able to solve 90% of the incidents on their campus.

Give childhood a chance.
