As the RFC's spring granting period comes to a close, our staff and Board are hard at work reviewing applications from targeted activist youth and kids whose parents are ex-political prisoners, racial justice organizers, peace activists taking a stand against genocide, survivors of police violence, authors facing book bans for uplifting queer youth, and much more.
The outreach for potential new grantees was especially intense this cycle given the ongoing assault on protest, free speech and outspoken activists.
This note from a recent donor felt well-timed to share: "Dear [RFC Executive Director Jennifer Meeropol], we need the Rosenberg Fund more than ever. Neo-fascists have seized control of the government in D.C. More innocent people will be targeted for repression, more children in need of help. You organize it in the name of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Thank you!"
We stand with the activists resisting the terrifying rise of fascism, and we are truly grateful for the continual support of donors who make it possible for the RFC to be a lifeline to activists on the frontlines and their families during these exceedingly turbulent and difficult times.
