Solidaire is interested in movement infrastructure proposals that support resistance through systems and tools, as well as proposals that build transformative futures through agency and scale.
Examples include:
starting or expanding a community-owned broadband initiative;
building out communications tools or staff to advance narrative or culture change;
intervening on cases against corporations or the government with progressive legal assistance;
expanding organizers in rural places;
security training and equipment purchases; or
campaigns for local housing solutions.
I believe we would be a good fit for their muti-year support program.
I think we could have been clear that we were looking for a multi-year grant. That would have been transformational.
Let’s build on the momentum and take our videos to the next level! For example, our answers to question #1 could totally be made into a general video that’s shared widely via social media and featured on our website.
We really need to figure out how to store photos and videos.
UPDATE: We were rejected for this grant but the benefit is that Jackie created an AMAZING video + I definitely had a better idea of what our network structure is. Maybe next time.
