Our Movement is Like a Dandelion...

December 23, 2020

Dear Resister,

Our movement is like a dandelion. Like a flower with many seeds, one activist can inspire countless others until our fight for a better tomorrow reaches from coast to coast.

Now is our time—we can’t let up on the momentum. Help us raise $150,000 by January 15 to empower our committed grantees, fighting for change in 2021.

Your generosity is like a dandelion, too—through Resist, your one gift can reach far and wide to hundreds of grantees, carried on the winds of change. Take a look below to see the 198 grantees you helped fund this year alone.

With your support, our grantees demonstrated the power of what you and I are fighting for. Even in this challenging year. We saw the possibility of a better world: mutual aid flourished, protests were ubiquitous, and solidarity was everything.

Donors like you make us strong, even in hard times. Your gift helped us meet a record-breaking demand for grants this year. Thank you on behalf of all the grantees you support for making a better future possible.

I mourn the toll the pandemic took on all of us, but you make me optimistic for the future. I know that as long as there is power, corruption, and greed, there will always be good people like you fighting for equality, justice, and freedom.

P.S. Thank you so much for being a champion of our progressive grantees. Never has the need for grassroots funding been so dire, and your support so invaluable. No matter how large or small your donation, your impact is enormous. Thank you.
