About us
We are committed to supporting organizations led by those most impacted by systemic oppression – largely low-income communities of color. The Libra Foundation’s guiding principle is that those who are closest to the issues understand those issues the best. They are not only the most equipped to build solutions, they are the most effective at implementing those solutions. We focus on frontline organizations led by people of color transforming the criminal justice system and advancing environmental and climate justice and gender justice. @thelibrafound

It is still relevant to talk about Hurricane Beryl! 🔊 Experts say devastating hurricane so early in season was ‘big wake-up call’ – and predict even more powerful storms. They now expect six major hurricanes with sustained wind speed above 111mph, and 12 hurricanes overall, before the season ends on 30 November. (Source: The Guardian) Knowing that Black women, girls and gender expansive people historically bear an even heavier burden from these impacts, we wanted to share some actionable resources to continue supporting the communities impacted by the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Beryl ➡ https://lnkd.in/d9qeC6RD Please help us spread the word 🌀 and let's continue to be vocal about the climate injustices facing Black women, girls and gender expansive people ✊🏿
