ORGANIZATIONS
Yes! Magazine Solutions Journalism: An online and print magazine on social justice issues. One of my favorite sources.
Bail Project: Their mission is to combat the racial and economic disparities in the bail system. I love the work they do because justice shouldn’t depend on how fat your wallet is.
5 Calls: Each week they’ll send you a list of calls to make to put pressure on elected officials. You can even select issues you care about most.
Color of Change designs campaigns to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, while championing solutions that move us all forward.
Sister District is dedicated to winning power in strategic state legislatures across the nation so that fair (non-gerrymandered) districts can be drawn in 2021.
Indivisible is a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.
Fair Fight is really close to my heart. I was living in GA when the gubernatorial race was stolen from Stacey Abrams. Fair Fight is the organization she started afterwards to protect the vote.
Postcards to Voters are friendly, handwritten reminders from volunteers to targeted voters giving Democrats a winning edge in close, key races coast to coast.
Resist Bot turns your texts into messages sent to your representatives. It takes about 2 minutes and you’re done. Genius!
Black Lives Matter: Enough said.
Black Voters Matter: Their goal is to increase power in Black communities as effective voting allows a community to determine its own destiny.
RAICES: The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services. RAICES has been doing amazing work in the midst of the ongoing crisis at the Southern U.S. border. If you aren’t familiar with them I strongly encourage you to get to know who they are and what they do.
Move On is dedicated to helping people to mobilize to create an inclusive and progressive future.
Emily’s List (Early Money is Like Yeast) it makes the dough rise. Emily’s List raises funds for pro-choice democratic women running for office.
Project ID puts their attention on getting ID’s for the over 21 million Americans who don’t have government-issued identification. Without ID try to get a job, open a bank account, secure housing, or even get medical care.
Run For Something is one of my favorite organizations. They support candidates running for office below the national level. These races are for offices that have a direct impact on our daily lives but often get little or no attention.
