Help Desis Rising and Moving (DRUM) raise funds to be able to provide decent stipends for summer fellows and contribute to the growth and development of working-class organizers and leadership!
Manny, Nayim, Shikha, and Talia have led DRUM campaigns on immigrant rights, educational justice, and police accountability for years, and are now asking to organize and lead others with DRUM and beyond. This spring, all four of them got trained in the School of Unity and Liberation's National Youth Organizing Training Institute. This summer, we are very excited to bring them on as summer organizing fellows where they can get hands on experience in organizing our base for campaigns, programmatic expansion, and DRUM’s 15th annual summer youth organizing institute. However, it is not easy for working class youth, who often work multiple jobs to support their families and pay tuition, to be able to dedicate the necessary time to fully immerse themselves in the organizing work.
We are reaching out for your support to help us raise funds to be able to provide decent stipends for the summer so that they don’t have to take on additional jobs, and can concentrate on their development.
We thank you for your contribution to the growth and development of working-class organizers and leadership.
