The second quarterly meeting of GCIR's California Immigrant Integration Initiative (CIII).
Join GCIR for the next meeting of the Transnational Strategy Community of Practice (CoP), a space for funders to share their knowledge of migrant-led transnational organizing and power-building work, learn more about how funders and donors are investing in this work, and identify opportunities to shape current and new transnational strategies.
Join this discussion to learn more about how immigrants in states like Georgia are shaping their own future and the role philanthropy can play.
Over the last two decades, waves of immigrants have made rural communities their homes. According to the Pew Research Center, from 2000 to 2018 immigrants accounted for 37 percent of overall rural population growth. Driven by demand for labor in the argricultural, meat packing, and dairy processing industries, this growth has led to an economic revival of parts of rural America where communities were once on the decline.
This discussion will examine how California funders can coordinate their power-building strategies and is open only to members of the California Immigrant Integration Initiative (CIII).
The Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, Northern California Grantmakers, and Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees invite you to a funder briefing to learn about exciting initiatives to end the political exclusion of immigrants and build thriving local communities through immigrant voting.
Building on the legacy of Queer and Trans elders and pioneers, LGBTQ immigrant and refugee leaders continue to lead the fight for societal transformation. For years, these leaders have advocated for increased funding to support LGBTQ immigrant communities, particularly to address lack of access to medical care and asylum and detention issues (including sexual assault). A 2017 Congressional inquiry found that LGBTQ immigrants are 97 times more likely to be sexually victimized than non-LGBTQ people while in ICE custody. However, LGTBQ immigrant issues continue to receive less funding when compared to overall dollar amounts invested in LGBTQ communities.
Join GCIR and our partners at Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA) for a 75-minute webinar that aims to inspire funders to imagine what is possible, and to move them to take action to help protect the freedom to move and stay.
This strategy session is designed for funders engaged in and committed to supporting immigrant power building strategies.
Please join the CS Fund to hear from leaders on the front lines about the integral role protests play in movements for social change and the challenges they are confronting nationwide, the path forward for positive reform, and the ways that funders can support networks and campaigns to defend and champion our right to protest.
