Building Power with Black Girls, Femmes, and Gender-Expansive Youth for Just and Liberated Futures
Black girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth are at the forefront of every social justice movement, and yet their contributions and their leadership continue to be erased from public discourse. That is why in 2020, a group of Black women movement leaders launched the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign and the Black Girl Freedom Fund. This workshop will cover the framework and context of philanthropic giving directed at Black girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth, highlight the importance of resourcing organizations led by and centering them, and offer strategies to directly engage them in the co-construction of giving priorities.
