35,000 people!
Over the past 42 weeks, the amazing team of The South LA Cafè has been able to feed over 35,000 people!

During the Covid-19 pandemic they expanded their program by organizing a weekly food donation program for the most-at-risk people in their community, donating food to over 35,000 people.

Can you imagine having to choose between buying sanitary pads for you and your daughter or food for your family?
.
Millions of women and girls in the world have little or no sanitary protection. Lack of menstrual health education and access to sanitary products are big barriers to achieving menstrual hygiene worldwide, and are a primary factor in why girls drop out of school.
.
The Pollination Project supported many changemakers who started projects to help. Grassroots leaders from different backgrounds, socio-economic situations, and parts of the world are coming up with unique approaches to address the same problem.

This week we tell you the stories of Qabale Duba from Kenya, Anne Kukuczka from Nepal and Danielle Keiser from Germany, each of whom are working to build solutions. Theirs are inspiring stories of #courage, determination and #heartivism.
.
Read how these women are changing the world on our website.

¿Te gustaría crear campañas por los derechos de

¿Te gustaría crear campañas por los derechos de lxs animales no humanxs? ¿Tienes una idea, un proyecto o trabajas en un colectivo para detener la explotación animal? ¿Te gustaría saber cómo obtener fondos para desarrollarla? Entonces este taller es para ti.

Queremos ayudarte a organizar tus ideas y darles estructura a través de herramientas efectivas y eficaces para la planeación y evaluación de estrategias.

Creemos que para terminar con la violencia es urgente el cambio institucional, legislativo y cultural, por lo que la formación de lxs activistas y emprendedorxs sociales es imprescindible.

Únete al taller que Brigada Animal México, en conjunto con The Pollination Project y Polifacética han creado para ti. Será online, con una duración de 2:15 horas. Será este sábado 10 de abril a las 11 am (hora del centro de México).

Este será el temario a revisar:

🧡 Campañas VS Acciones: ¿por qué es importante estructurar proyectos y hablar de soluciones efectivas en contextos y plazos diversos?
🧡 Enfoques diversos en la lucha por la liberación animal.
🧡 Planteamiento del problema: ¿Cuál es la situación?
🧡 Intereses y capacidades: ¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto?
🧡 Recursos humanos, tecnológicos y económicos.
🧡 Creatividad y desarrollo de ideas.
🧡 Tácticas, estrategias y objetivo ulterior.
🧡 Objetivos generales y particulares.
🧡 Planificación: estructura temporal y división de tareas.
🧡 Herramientas para la gestión de información y comunicación del equipo.
🧡 Integridad, formación y salud comunitaria.
🧡 Comunicación estratégica.
🧡 Fondeos: ¿Cómo obtengo dinero para desarrollar mi proyecto?
🧡 Autoevaluación
🧡 Continuidad, reinvención o término de la campaña

El taller será transmitido por Facebook Live desde la página de Brigada Animal México y desde el canal de YouTube Polifacética simultáneamente. En ambas plataformas podrás compartir tus dudas y preguntas que serán resueltas en vivo.

Imparte: Poli Sotomayor, politóloga, socióloga, investigadora y comunicadora social. Doctorado en Ciencias Sociales. Especialista en ética animal. Activista interseccional. Creadora del tour nacional de activismo antiespecista e interseccional.

“Every choice we make has an impact on animals and on the planet. It’s beyond food choices; it’s lifestyle, politics, culture and social identity. It’s about our idea of the kind of world we want to live in.”

Our #changemakeroftheweek is Poli Sotomayor, a Mexican activist, social media influencer, singer, writer and grassroots leader. She's dedicating her entire life to create awareness around animal rights, health, empathy and daily activism.

Wonderground is an Eco Friendly Art/Performance Space and Community Garden in Baton Rouge. And it is much more than this 🙂

@wonderground.br is a safe space to be entertained, to learn, to heal and grow. Weather it's just changing a persons' day by providing a warm meal. Or providing clothes. Or weather it is teaching someone how to grow their own food... Wonderground is a place of unity and transformation.

Our gratitude to our grantee Cindy Wonderful, founder, and to her fantastic team of volunteers!

The healing power of art. Our #changemakerofthewe

The healing power of art.

Our #changemakeroftheweek is Ngọc-Trân Vũ, a Vietnamese-American artist.
Trân received seed funding for her project VietFamStories, which brings together Vietnamese-American elders and young artists to share stories, dialogue, and art.

Her work is expanding the informal network of Vietnamese elders, bringing in the younger generation, and providing a structure for new intergenerational dialogue and creative collaboration.

Projects like Tran’s help communities ensure that they are able to meet “others” not as strangers, but in the fullness of their rich individuality and our shared humanity.

Read more about her on our website.
