Defend Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

The current “great retrenchment on racial justice funding” threatens to close the doors of many DEI organizations, including Embracing Equity, as Stacey Abrams and Julián Castro describe in their article, "It’s Open Season on Civil Rights. Philanthropy Must Not Retreat".
To sustain our work and continue to build on the movement for racial justice, we are turning to dedicated partners like you. Please support Embracing Equity’s goal of raising $30,000 by December 31st.
Your donation will fuel our vital work and allow us to implement our self-sustaining funding strategy by 2025. It's an ambitious target, but one that we believe you can help us achieve in defense of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Multiple foundations are closing down their DEI portfolios, which has directly injured Embracing Equity. As a nonprofit, our budget is 60% dependent on fundraising to exist and offer our programming at an accessible sliding scale.
Your donation will not only help us persist in our transformative work, but also support our ongoing efforts to ensure that Embracing Equity's doors remain open to all who believe in our mission. Your support is more critical than ever. Donate today to make a difference!

Ode to White Liberals
Austin, Texas is the land of the White Moderate. They who “prefer a negative peace...and the absence of tension” as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said. They are liberal. They are progressive. They are “good” White people. And so I wrote this poem, “Ode to White Liberals” for you, Austin, Texas. Global Majority, I want you to know that it’s ok to refuse to be the bridge for White moderates.

Honor Native Land
Land acknowledgements need to happen because only then will we begin to provide a more truthful and just learning about Indigenous people of this land; our languages, our histories, our existence, our children. Land acknowledgements are a crucial step toward the United States practicing truth and reconciliation.
Where Are You Really From?
What does it look like to have conversations about race that acknowledge and center the fact that the U.S. was built on a foundation of genocide, antiblackness, and white supremacy, and find ways to validate and incorporate the experiences of those of us who occupy the many spaces between the categories around which we have oriented our research, our vocabulary, our world?
