Overview
The Women’s March in Washington on January 21, 2017, started a global women’s movement for increasing women’s voices and participation in policy processes and holding governments accountable for protecting women’s rights. This project will activate and organize women’s rights advocates around the world and support the first global convening of Women’s March Global chapters. Women’s March Global will mobilize advocates to be active in key global policy events using online platforms, grassroots local Women’s March chapters, and connections with international and local nongovernmental organizations.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the LeaderSpring Center
LeaderSpring, a fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center, invests in supporting and developing leaders in the Bay Area. It seeks to foster a powerful, equity-driven social sector by strengthening leaders and organizations, developing communities of leaders, and transforming the systems in which they work. This support will enable LeaderSpring to deepen its efforts to shift organizational culture and structures to oppose and dismantle systems of oppression.
for the Climate and Community Project's work on Community Benefit Agreements in a Just Transition
The Climate and Community Project is fiscally sponsored by the Tides Center. The project is a network of academics and policy experts conducting research at the climate and inequality nexus. This grant will fund a project to explore the potential of community benefit agreements (CBAs) to support a just transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The goal is to produce a policy-oriented report and an environmental justice CBA toolkit that will examine what kinds of benefits negotiated agreements may offer to frontline communities, as well as potential shortcomings and unintended consequences of such accords.
