As of today, we've decided not to post on Twitter for the foreseeable future. Recent changes and happenings on the platform don’t align with the Haas, Jr. Fund's long-standing values of inclusion and respect.

As 2022 comes to a close, we’d like to say a huge thank you to our grantees and partner orgs who organized their communities, worked on policy, knocked on doors, and provided critical services to our neighbors and friends. It is an honor to work with and learn from all of you!

From everyone at our Haas, Jr. Fund family to yours, wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season and a wonderful new year ahead!

"In 2022 we saw more community resiliency to election disinformation than in 2020, thanks in large part to massive education efforts to name the problem of disinformation and explain what it looks like." - @JGo4Justice via @HaasJrFund

Our Democracy Program Director Raúl Macías recently spoke to @JGo4Justice about the role that mis- and disinformation played in the midterms and the work that her org @freepress is doing to combat the interference of fake news in our electoral processes:

In her EOY letter, our President @cathycha reflects on the November midterms, three opportunities to strengthen our democracy, and the important on-the-ground work of our grantee partners to ensure no one is left behind:

Nice shoutout to the staff of @HaasJrFund grantee partners from @cathycha: “I’m grateful to the community organizers who… made sure no one is forgotten in our democracy. They remind us that organizing is a noble & vital profession.” #fundthepeople https://t.co/p1KwMiXEOI

Today is a historic day for LGBTQ+ equality. Today @POTUS will sign the bipartisan #RespectforMarriage Act into law. Today, our families know they’re protected and respected no matter what. Today, love wins.

Chronicle’s @SoSFund contributed over $2M to Bay Area food banks last year. This holiday season, help them continue providing critically needed support for those in need in our communities.

Now more than ever, our most vulnerable neighbors in the Bay Area are facing struggles like food insecurity, but soaring inflation is straining desperately needed support systems like local food banks that are seeing a dramatic decline in donations.

#MoorevHarper not only has major implications on who has power to draw and challenge congressional maps but also on how federal elections are conducted in the future and the breadth of state legislatures’ power when it comes to setting elections rules.

The customizable toolkits and action plans offered by this new Financial Aid For All website will help ensure that CA students are aware of all their financial aid options and have the support they need to complete the CA Dream Act and #FAFSA applications.

More from @AlientoAZ's @ReynaEMontoya and @jrpatino12, who played an integral role in the ballot measure's success:

Arizona's recent passage of Prop 308 – which grants in-state tuition to undocumented students – is a beacon of hope for Dreamers and advocates across the nation working to strengthen higher education opportunity regardless of immigration status.

Our own Raúl Macías will participate in the hour-long panel featuring experts devoted to securing a more just and fair democracy. Register here:

Tomorrow at 10am PST, join @NorCalGrant to unpack the results of the critical midterm election and explore the implications for philanthropy to continue protecting our democracy and advance racial equity and social justice.

The financing of election campaigns, and their results, have been increasingly dominated by a small number of wealthy donors. But a newly approved ballot measure in Oakland is likely to give everyday people more of a voice in future elections.

The American @immcouncil's work is dedicated to advancing a more just immigration system in the U.S. and empowering immigrants to unleash their full potential. Support their efforts this #GivingTuesday!
