Support the Movement

SELECT YOUR AMOUNT

We fight most powerfully when we work together. By giving to the Ella Baker Center, you play a critical role in the resilience of our movements: you support us to scale our work creatively and sustainably, you offer resources of care to our members and staff, and you equip us to navigate pushback while staying committed to our vision of liberation for all. Thank you for standing with us.

You can contribute to Ella Baker Center’s work by donating your time as a volunteer. Please reach out to us here if you’re interested in signing up for a volunteer opportunity.

As a volunteer, you can pick and choose the opportunities that resonate with you and fit into your schedule.
Examples include:

  • Monthly Virtual Prison Mail Night – Respond to mail from incarcerated people across the country 
  • Quarterly Mutual Aid Events – Spend a day distributing necessities and hot food in the Fruitvale community.  
  • Phone and Text Banks – Spread the word about action opportunities

Your Impact

The Ella Baker Center is raising $3.5 million to fuel the next three years of our ambitious strategic vision – but to meet this vision, we must be just as ambitious about our growth. Your gift supports Ella Baker Center’s Growth Fund, a fund that will allow us to drive and scale bold, innovative programs for community-based power.
