Are you an organizer in the South using art and activism against injustice? Apply for funding for your project through the We Shall Overcome Fund! The fund awar...ds grants of up to $2,000 to nurture grassroots efforts within Black communities to use art and activism against injustice, supporting organizing in the South at the nexus of culture and social change. The deadline to apply is Feb. 1. "We Shall Overcome" served as the theme song of the Civil Rights Movement and is now a worldwide anthem for freedom and justice. Since 1966, Highlander Research and Education Center has administered the We Shall Overcome Fund, which is generated by royalties from the commercial use of the song "We Shall Overcome." Because of the song's history and use in the primarily southern-based struggle against racism and injustice, Black communities must benefit from Fund-supported projects. Requests are accepted from Alabama, Arkansas, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
