Today we get to hear from the amazing Diamund who is the digital organizing and training strategy fellow at San Francisco Rising Alliance. In August, Diamund published a LTE regarding student debt cancellation.

"San Francisco Rising’s student organizers like myself have been working to gain traction in the student debt cancellation movement after coming to the understanding of how deeply racist the debt system is." https://eltecolote.org/content/en/holding-our-breath-for-student-debt-cancellation/

This summer, @sanfrancisco_rising is leading a Student Rising Fellowship. Join San Francisco Rising with 20 - 25 college students throughout the Bay Area. If you or someone you know is interested apply! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe9YdE8GZeWcaDb2PHldQ5KE5ma4XFYyOXND_RfMAeZCf2pKQ/viewform

Also, there are Student Liberation Committee (SLC) Meetings that happen every three weeks! Attend to learn more about community building, political education, and collective action. https://www.mobilize.us/sfrisingactionfund/event/549644/?utm_source=ig

Thank you Diamund for all the hard work you do and congratulations on your publication!!

Today we are sharing what Cal with Oakland Rising has been up to! Thanks for all the hard work and creativity you bring to Oakland Rising Cal!

7 months ago we started the DOTS 2.0 fellowship!

The Digital Organizing Training and Strategy Fellowship was designed to build the long-term digital organizing capacity of Bay Rising and its partner groups so that even after the COVID-19 restrictions on in-person organizing ease, the region will emerge stronger with an integrated set of tools to engage the community members, amplify Bay Rising’s collective voice, and build power for the long haul.

Now we want to share what our fellows have been up to the past 7 months at their organizations. Be on the lookout for updates over the next week from our amazing fellows! First up we have Claire who is working with Bay Rising.

At the end of January, we collaborated with Regional Suburban Organizing Project (RSOP) to do a day-long Campaign Structure and Power Mapping training with housing orgs from around the Bay! Thanks to everyone who came out and participated to strengthen our regional housing strategy!

Partners for Dignity & Rights and Race Forward are excited to announce the release of our latest report “Co-Governing Toward Multiracial Democracy.” Find out about powerful models of collaborative governance led by communities of color across the country on our webinar Feb. 28 from 4-5:30 featuring People's Advocacy Institute, Paterson Education Fund and Chinese Progressive Association.
