About Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism

Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism partners with frontline feminist movements to support women, trans, and non-binary activists who take and face enormous risks to challenge oppressive systems and build a more just and equitable world. Our holistic, flexible approach enables frontline feminists to respond to real-time threats and opportunities, protect and care for themselves and one another, and sustain and propel solutions to the most critical crises and injustices of our time.
