Protest or Riot? Foundations Navigate Legal Landmines
For the Bread & Roses Community Fund, protest is a key method of pushing for social change. Grantees of the $14 million fund have taken to the streets, held signs, chanted slogans, and rallied for various causes since it was created five decades ago.
According to Patrice Green, Bread & Roses’s co-chair, protesting has helped pave the way for notable policy developments, including the creation of Philadelphia’s housing trust fund and stopping the expansion of a large oil refinery in the city.
The reality is: We require both the inside work of policy change and the outside pressure of people having their voices heard.
Grant makers face existential threats as the White House attempts to draw a clear line connecting anti-Trump protesters and progressive foundations.
