“For Borealis Philanthropy, safeguarding democratic freedoms isn’t abstract…” said Borealis Director of Communications Carrie Kholi-Murchison. “When speech is restricted, so too is our ability to organize, to resist, and to build a multiracial democracy where everyone can thrive.”

What is “a money story” and why is it helpful for both fundraisers and wealthy donors?

In Episode 2 of Movement Money, Allison and Mike share their money stories and reflect on what it’s like to talk so publicly about money and family.

Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, the US has given more than $30 billion in taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to enable its atrocities. Write your Representative and ask them to cosponsor H.R.3565, the Block the Bombs Act >>> www.blockthebombs.org

Black and red graphic from IMEU Policy Project reads "Israel has received a shipment of weapons from the US every 15 hours for 20 months. This week Israel announced the 1014th weapons shipment from the US in 614 days of genocide: bulldozers."

As billionaires & authoritarians consolidate power, people with wealth & class privilege are being forced to choose: protect the status quo, or join movements for justice. See @rajasvini.bsky.social's explanation of what it means to organize the rich--

What does it mean to "organize the rich"?
