Since March 2020, 155 countries have placed new restrictions on public assemblies, while only 3% of the world’s population lives in countries considered to have open civic space. Without it, people aren’t able to have a voice in the decisions that affect them. Today, we announced an $80 million program to build the resilience of #CivilSociety organizations across the Global South. Developed with partners in eight regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, #WeavingResilience will strengthen and connect innovative leaders on the frontlines of the fight for social justice. Weaving Resilience lays the groundwork for civil society organizations to empower each other with the expertise and tools they need to build and sustain social change. Local experts will lead resource hubs located in 12 countries, so solutions come directly from affected communities. Learn more at our 🔗 in bio.
