Activist Resources

There are oceans of content out there. There are many gems and there is a lot of noise. Sifting through it all can be quite daunting so as movement-nerds and alternative-politics-geeks, we’ve complied some handy texts, podcasts, vids from our grantees and collaborateurs. Feedback on how useful these are or suggesting stuff that you think should be here and is not, can be directed at: teresa or ivan@guerrillafoundation.org. Enjoy.

If you’re looking for other radical funders who, like Guerrilla, have an appetite for systems change, here’s a growing list of participatory grantmakers in our network that you could contact. (note: this list might not always be up to date given that foundations change their funding strategy regularly).
