Give Us a Gift!

Give a Gift to Grassroots Global Justice and EMEAC!
EMEAC is proud to host the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance's 6th Membership Assembly on April 10-13. Check out a list of confirmed international movement allies below!
EMEAC joined GGJ in 2010 just after the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit, which drew 20,000 activists under the banner: Another World is Possible, Another U.S. is Necessary! Through that process, EMEAC formed a strong relationship with many GGJ member organizations as we served as one of four local anchor organizations in Detroit. Since 2011, EMEAC has served on GGJ's Coordinating Committee.
Four years later, we are hosting GGJ’s 6th Membership Assembly in Detroit (April 10-13, 2014) and organizers from across the U.S. and around the world are converging in Detroit again, this time to imagine and plan out a Just Transition away from the fossil fuel economy toward an economy for people and the planet.
As an alliance, GGJ looks to Detroit for inspiring examples of how communities have responded to exploitation and abandonment by creating alternatives that build community power through environmental justice education, youth development and collaborative relationship building.
Will you donate to support this crucial work? All contributions in response to this appeal will be split 50/50 between GGJ and EMEAC. We will greatly appreciate any amount that you are able to contribute.
