The Chisholm Legacy Project

The Chisholm Legacy Project serves as a vehicle to connect Black communities on the frontlines of climate justice with resources to traverse the path from vision to strategy to action plan to implementation to transformation. In support of frontline leadership, the project seeks to link movements and mainstream entities with the tools necessary to advance systems change centered in equity and justice. The X-Grant will support the convening of 3 focus groups/strategy sessions with both movement groups and philanthropy to gather information on the phenomenon of violence against Black women as well as on the most effective solutions. The outcomes will include a strategy to ensure that resources that exist are available to all women who need them and increase the availability of resources for which there is a gap.
