Organizations:

TIRRC Votes: TIRRC Votes is the 501(c)(4) affiliate of the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition, working across Tennessee to build political power in immigrant and refugee communities and defend inclusive, multiracial democracy. Founded in 2018, they mobilize voters, train leaders from immigrant and refugee backgrounds, and block discriminatory legislation, at a time when these communities face increasing threats. As the environment grows more hostile, their work is urgent and under-resourced. With support now, TIRRC Votes can expand year-round organizing in rural and suburban regions, strengthen multilingual voter outreach, and ensure immigrant and refugee voters have a decisive voice in shaping Tennessee’s future.

CASA in Action: CASA in Action is a 501(c)(4) member-led organization mobilizing over 155,000 Black, Latine, Afro-descendant, Indigenous, and immigrant voters across the Mid-Atlantic and other key battleground states. Working at the intersection of immigrant rights, racial justice, and democratic power-building, CASA in Action plays a critical role in electing progressive champions who reflect the communities they serve. With mounting threats to immigrant rights and shrinking space for democratic participation, their moment of urgency is now. Support will help them strengthen field operations, deepen their member engagement, and build the grassroots political infrastructure needed to win lasting change for working-class immigrant communities.

Make the Road Action: Make the Road Action builds political power rooted in Latinx, immigrant and working-class communities across New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Nevada. They mobilize voters, lead grassroots campaigns on worker rights, affordable housing and immigration justice, and have become a national model for civic engagement in under-resourced communities. At a time when economic inequities deepen and immigrant communities face growing attacks, their work is more urgent than ever. Supporting Make the Road Action now will allow them to expand their infrastructure, deepen donor-led base mobilization, and fuel high-impact campaigns that shift the balance of power for working-class communities of color.

We Are California: We Are California is a statewide movement-building coalition working to defend democracy, advance economic justice, and build power for working-class, immigrant, Black, Indigenous, and multiracial communities across the Golden State. As corporate billionaires and authoritarian-leaning forces target California’s progress, We Are California mobilizes neighbors through grassroots squads and rapid-response networks to protect our shared future. In this moment of escalating threats and shifting power, your support will help them scale organizing, strengthen community infrastructure, and ensure that everyday Californians have the resources and resilience to shape their own lives.

Trans Justice Funding Initiative: The Trans Justice Funding Project (TJFP) is a community-led funding initiative that channels unrestricted resources to grassroots trans-led organizations across the U.S. and U.S. territories, particularly groups run by and for trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people of color. Founded in 2012, TJFP disrupts traditional philanthropy by putting decision-making power in the hands of trans activists, and trusting grantees to use funds as they see fit. At a moment when trans communities face intensified violence, legislative rollback, and under-resourcing, now is the time to strengthen this vital infrastructure. Supporting TJFP means investing directly in trans leadership and ensuring movement-driven safety, care, and collective power.
