The Donor Card in my June 2011 issue of the newsletter reads, "Support grassroots social justice organizing today."
On the last page of the letter, four "Hell Yes!" grants totalling $4,000 each were described and made to 'Southside Together Organizing for Power,' 'Pride at Work San Francisco,' 'Fort Hood Support Network,' and the Crawford Stewardship Project.
I highly respect RESIST staff for being so adept at keeping its finger on the pulse of change at the grassroots for our entire American hemisphere. And I mean grassroots helping grassroots. Dollar for dollar, I would say RESIST is always productive in the missions it serves and US Foreign Aid in comparison swings below the graphing line into the nether regions of counter-productivity thus making every dollar donated 100 times more powerful than each tax dollar taken in support of a "legal fiction" without my consent.

Mission: What began with the "call to resist illegitimate authority" in opposition the war in Vietnam now includes funding social change activism. At our core RESIST remains more than just a foundation; RESIST is a part of a movement for social change.
RESIST prioritizes funding for small grassroots groups who, because of the radical nature of their work or because they are a newer organization, are unlikely to find "mainstream" funding. With six funding cycles each year, RESIST offers one of the most frequent grant making programs of all foundations.
In addition to the grants program, RESIST publishes a well-respected Newsletter which features articles on subjects important to progressive activists.
The Grants and Newsletter Programs are supported by individual contributors committed to funding social change.
