Calling all Critical Resistance Portland supporters!

✨ Critical Resistance 2021 Year-End Giving Circle STARTS TOMORROW - and you can still sign up! ✨

///

The Critical Resistance Giving Circle will be a series of six sessions, where you can learn about fundraising as a crucial organizing tool in the movement for liberation, sharpen your abolitionist analysis, and take action by fundraising for Critical Resistance.

In this cohort model, along with learning the basics of fundraising for abolition, you will be fundraising for your nearest Critical Resistance chapter or the national organization, which will include setting up a personal fundraising page, crafting a personal fundraising plan, and using that plan to raise funds to sustain Critical Resistance work.

Together, we will fundraise to support Critical Resistance. Each participant will set a personal fundraising goal and be part of the collective effort. We will work together to build skills, practice and successfully fundraise CR’s 2021 year-end fundraising season!

We have seen art fundraisers, music fundraisers, restaurant fundraisers, and many more creative methods of raising money for abolitionist organizing, so there will be plenty of space to be as cool and creative as possible!

CR Giving Circle Dates & Times:
-- November 23rd 4-6 PM PST / 7-9 PM EST – Intro to Grassroots Fundraising
-- November 30th 4-6 PM PST / 7-9 PM EST – Grassroots Fundraising Personal Campaign Planning Session
-- December 7th 4-6 PM PST / 7-9 PM EST – Making Asks and Spokesperson Training Session
-- December 14th 4-6 PM PST / 7-9 PM EST – Political Education // Working Session Part 1
-- December 21st 4-6 PM PST / 7-9 PM EST – Political Education // Working Session Part 2
-- January 11th 4-6 PM PST/ 7-9 PM EST – Victory Session!

Email Shirley at [email protected] with the name of your nearest CR chapter (Oakland, Los Angeles, Portland, New York City). If you are not near a CR chapter, we will happily have you fundraise for our national organization!
