In Support of Black Lives

Global Grassroots stands in solidarity with Black, Brown, and Indigenous people and communities in America and worldwide. Holding in our hearts the names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and too many others killed at the hands of white people, we commit to making conscious change -- within ourselves, our organization, and our world -- to transform the beliefs and systems that perpetuate violence, oppression, and hatred rooted in a white supremacy culture that permeates the globe. 

As an American-founded organization dedicated to elevating the social change efforts of Black women and girls of East Africa, we know there is a lot of work to do. Over the coming weeks, through an ongoing strategic planning process that began a year ago, we will be vulnerable, listen deeply, learn from one another, seek out wise teachers, and make the changes necessary to ensure every aspect of our programs, processes, and impacts are aligned with our values. We commit to transforming ourselves as we continue to support others working for social change from within their own communities. We look forward to keeping you informed as we move forward.
