Across the globe we are seeing a rise of state repression, police violence and fascist leadership deepening the inequities facing Black, Indigenous, oppressed caste, religious minority, and poor communities.

We are organizing a series of conversations for funders on what is required to be in solidarity with historically marginalized communities and social movements in Brazil, Colombia, Palestine, India, and Myanmar. As we watch the state enact violence and criminalize dissent through police raids, targeting of activists, expulsion of thousands of families from their homes and dangerous neglectful and criminal response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are clear - our struggles are global and connected.

Funders committed to addressing structural inequities and standing in solidarity with oppressed people in the Global South must do our part in understanding the immense challenges facing social movements led by the historically oppressed communities as well as the ways that we can support them.
