This spring, Real Change is fundraising to cultivate the commons, build our shared resources and foster a community rooted in collective care and power.

The threats we face are great. The President is actively targeting nonprofits who support unhoused people and cities are taking advantage of the Supreme Court's decision in favor of Grants Pass to make existing while homeless next to impossible. These aren't abstract problems. They're the realities faced by the people who live and work alongside us.

We refuse to wait for some external force to swoop in and save us from the threats that we face. We are the force. We are the ones who will build the safety nets, cultivate the commons and create a more just and equitable community.

This spring, we're not just asking for donations. We're asking you to join us. Join the effort to build a community where everyone thrives.

Your contribution isn't just a financial transaction; it's an investment in our shared future. It's a seed planted in the fertile ground of collective action. It's a recognition that we are stronger together, and a commitment to water that seed until all can flourish.

Donate today and become part of the movement, because our strength lies not in what we have, but in what we share.
