We aim to create a world where all minoritized students, and anticapitalist organizers are not left with dreams deferred.
The surge in homelessness, mounting pressures on community organizers from the prison-industrial complex, and the rollback of Affirmative Action illuminate the critical need for action.
These realities have deepened our focus on emergent housing as a lifeline for those facing instability, especially those marginalized by racial, cishetero-patriarchal, imperialist, ableist capitalism. With the challenges of housing insecurity and enrollment declines on the horizon, our mission to innovate and support our communities is not just vital—it’s urgent.
Let’s take a stand together.
OUR PROJECTS
Emergent Fund
This Emergent Fund supports students and community organizers with urgent assistance. Since 2023, we’ve distributed $49,000 primarily to BIPOC, undocumented, low-income, disabled, trans, and queer students and community organizers.
“As a youth justice advocate, I never imagined I could escape my abusive marriage and find safe housing. With my 4-year-old daughter, I left my abuser but had nowhere to go. This project gave me the support I needed to transition into permanent housing and leave instability behind.”
Tiny House Pilot Project
Launching 2026. Tiny House Pilot project will provide temporary housing in a tiny house bus for students and community organizers facing housing insecurity. This short-term solution offers a safe space while students and organizers transition to more stable, long-term housing.
BIPOC TGNC ADHD Employment Fellowship
For some of us at the intersection of ADHD, BIPOC, and TGNC identities, research shows we are less likely to be diagnosed than our cis, non-POC kin. We know something is getting in the way of our full brilliance, and it shows up hard in employment applications.
You know you're brilliant, you see flashes all the time. And yet: the job application sits open in another tab. You submit it late, maybe past the deadline. You can't stay focused long enough to apply to as many jobs as you know you should. You struggle to put your best ideas forward because this job, this process, this whole song and dance is so fucking uninteresting. On top of that, you're trans and gender nonconforming and a Black and Indigenous person of color which brings its own discrimination. And underneath all of it is either the urge to chuck your computer out a window or a quiet, persistent shame that whispers you're just not good enough.
If that feels like a rinse-and-repeat cycle every time you job search, this fellowship may be a way to offer you a liberatory, self-knowledge, communal, and dopamine friendly way to do it differently.
