WHO WE ARE

Claim Our Space Now is a NYC Based and Black-Queer and Immigrant led, fiscally sponsored nonprofit organization focused on building and mobilizing community power by making activism accessible and dismantling systems of white supremacy through our three tenets: Inform, Inspire, Speak Truth to Power. As an intersectional coalition, we act as a multimedia resource online and on-the-ground to provide aid and empower the Black community.

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 2022, we will begin work on our major initiative Claim Our Food Now to provide consistent community care in the form of food security for NYC Caribbean immigrant families impacted by the threat of deportation. We will donate culturally specific and nutritious foods to support their immediate needs while creating sustainable community programs to educate, motivate, and unionize our neighbors to abolish ICE and prevent further harm for future generations.

Your donation to Claim Our Space Now will radically aid and impact our fight to dismantle white supremacy and save all Black lives through all of our programming. Claim Our Space Now is a 501 (c)(3) and your donations are eligible for tax deduction.
