FRIDA The Young Feminist Fund<\/a>, a long-time Channel grantee partner, announced their newest cohort of grantee partners on November 6, 2023. This new cohort consists of 98 grantee partners from 57 countries and 6 regions. The “Taking Flight” Zine<\/a>, produced by FRIDA, highlights these new grantee partners and their work.<\/p>\n

The zine illustrates “the vibrance, vision, and irrepressible dreams of the activists who are organizing to dismantle systems of oppression around the world.” It includes “love notes” from the grantees to FRIDA expressing their joy and excitement for their work. Additionally, it emphasizes that an increasing number of grantees are focusing on gender, sexual, and climate justice with 43 grantees working on LGBTQIA+ rights, 11 on abortion rights, and 13 on environmental justice.<\/p>\n
