Since launching PDPG in 2023, we have provided over $8M in general operating grants to fuel organizations advancing economic justice.
PDPG provides support to grant recipients organizing communities or unlocking federal funds in ways that help us all to experience and reimagine what our world could be like if our public dollars were used to build a thriving multiracial democracy.
Dare to imagine a world with widely available public housing, dignified jobs with a living wage, and clean drinking water for all communities.
There is a massive influx of funding that could help us realize our collective dreams for a better world. Currently, trillions of dollars are being disbursed through federal programs, including the American Rescue Plan Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It’s the funding opportunity of a generation, and we refuse to let special interests tip the scales and direct these funds into programs that cause further harm.
It’s time for the people’s money to be used to build the unfulfilled promise of vibrant multiracial democracy.
What would society look like if racial and economic justice leaders had the funding to further their leadership and create transformative experiments that helped society?
