🚨MUTUAL AID ALERT🚨

A beloved Black Organizer from our Central Valley community underwent an intense, life-saving medical procedure. The surgery was successful, but there is still a long road to recovery. They will spend the next few weeks in the hospital, followed by several months of at-home care.

In the spirit of Black August we’re calling on you to open your hearts and wallets. We’re aiming to raise $50,000 to ensure they can focus solely on healing without the added stress of financial burdens.

Here’s how you can help:
- **500 people donating $100**
- **1,000 people donating $50**
- **2,500 people donating $20**

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact. Together, we can provide the financial stability they need to breathe a little easier and recover fully.

Your support is not just an act of kindness; it’s an investment in the strength and well-being of our entire community.

Meet our Lead & Directors Fellows! 🌺✨

Our Leads & Directors Fellowship supports youth organizing staff who are serving in strategic roles in their organizations as seasoned lead organizers or emerging directors and are interested in honing their leadership through a peer based 9 month cohort.

This year’s cohort includes 19 phenomenal organizational leaders across California who are leading bold youth organizing campaigns, building power in their communities, and implementing transformative change in and outside their organizations. What’s even more exciting, is that half of our fellows are alumni of our Emerging Organizers Fellowship!

This fellowship has been a dream of YO! Cali’s, and over the past two years we have been scheming and plotting how to make it happen. To manifest it we have been in conversations with many of you to help give it shape & purpose, and it is a true testament to what it means to align & be responsive to the field and the request coming from it, to activate our strengths, and move purposefully together. ✊🏾❤️✨
