WHO WE ARE

Claim Our Space Now is a non-profit organization dedicated to emboldening urgent action in the efforts of ending white supremacy and saving all Black lives. With intersectionality and accessibility at the forefront of our mission, our collective provides resources and calls to action that educate, motivate, and unionize our Freedom Fighters to take action and speak truth to power.

WHAT WE DO

Since our launch in June 2020, we have created free accessible educational resources, as well as compiled a National Research Directory that includes information on Black mental healthcare, Queer safe spaces, police reform, and a dozen other topics. We have ignited our Freedom Fighters across the country through our Claim the Vote program to register voters in vulnerable Black and brown communities, as well as saved over $100,000 for those communities by registering people for the 2020 census. We have hosted rallies, created a dozen pop-ups across the nation, and have been featured on NY1, CBS, and Playbill highlighting our campaigns and work.

In 2021, we will begin work on our major grant initiative, Project FROM (First Round's On Me):
Inspired by individual acts of generosity during the global pandemic, Project FROM launches with the mission of benefiting the most disadvantaged communities in New York and across the country. Our work begins by forging change in the following areas: mental health resources in the Black community,  prison reform, and  food & housing security. Project FROM will deploy 4 distinct phases in communities, where Claim Our Space Now will move from direct local funding, to sustained community development, individual grants, and finally, specialized endowments.
