Assata's Daughters depends on the love and support of our community.
Assata’s Daughters provides a political home to young Black people in Chicago, most of whom come from divested from communities. Five days a week, we provide a space for them to learn together, train together, break bread together, organize together, support each other, and form the type of bonds that not only can sustain them for a lifetime but that can drive them to want to build the type of self-determining community where we keep each other safe and meet each other’s needs.
Providing this home and experience takes resources, a cost that has only continued to increase as young people flock to a safe political space full of their peers. We spend over $600,000 each year on programming alone, and we seek to rely primarily on grassroots support from folks like you so that we can provide the support most needed and not fall victim to philanthropy's shifting priorities.
