Make Your Donation to AMPLIFY to Support Red Salmon Arts

• You will assist us in getting ahead with the rent. This in-turn will allow various community groups and members to use our space for free.

• You will help us support our small but diligent staff as well as allow us to hire more staff.

• You will contribute in continuing to sustain historically minoritized and underpaid artists, writers, filmmakers, and innovators, who privilege a Native American/Chicana/o/x/Latina/o/x experience as well as the broader BIPOC community of cultural leaders, makers, and visionaries.

• Your contribution will help us recognize over four decades of homegrown, rasquache, community-based organization dedicated to cultural arts from a Native American/Chicana/o/x/Latina/o/x perspective in Central Texas!

Now, that we have your attention, we would appreciate your support for Amplify Austin Day this March 4-5, 2026.

Tu apoyo importa, every bit counts toward our futuro! Make a donation now: https://www.amplifyatx.org/organizations/red-salmon-arts

Saludos Estimada Gente,

Feliz año nuevo! We are excited for 2026 but we find ourselves in between grants.

We hope we can count on your support of Red Salmon Arts and the casa that raúlrsalinas built, the casa that you all have been a part of creating for over forty years by becoming a monthly sustainer.

Our goal is to achieve 135 sustainers at $30 a month by the end of January.

This will allow us to keep our doors open through 2026 with the assurance that our community supports us by covering our rent.

You can become a monthly donor by enrolling on PayPal OR Patreon by clicking here:

We appreciate other forms of support but message us directly so we can start the conversation.

En paz y resistencia,

Lilia Rosas, Ph.D., Executive Director

RSA is dedicated to the development of emerging writers and the promotion of Chicanx/Latinx/Native American literature, providing outlets and mechanisms for cultural exchange, and sharing in the retrieval of a people’s cultural heritage with a commitment to social justice. PODER (People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources) is a women led, people of color grassroots social justice organization formed in 1991 to increase the participation of residents of East Austin in decisions related to the economic development and environmental protection of our communities. Our mission is to redefine environmental issues as social and economic justice issues, and collectively set our own agenda to address these concerns as basic human rights. We seek to empower our communities through education, advocacy and action.

Comunidad,

We have struggled this year due to a 60% shortfall in funding.

Every month we strategize, hustle to make the rent.

For Giving Tuesday, we ask that you consider becoming a monthly supporter, so we can ensure our rent is covered.

***If 125 people decide to donate $30 every month, we will be one more step closer to securing our sustainability. ***

Why does this matter?

• We work hard to provide a free (or for a nominal fee) our space to community groups, orgs, and entities on a regular basis.

• We work hard to provide an open and welcoming environment that prioritizes BIPOC, Queer, working class, Indigenous, immigrant peoples.

• We work hard to cultivate a community space where collaboration, compassion, and consciousness-building matter.

Tu apoyo importa!

En paz y resistencia, Lilia ❤️🌹🌈
