The GLC Alumni Network is a group of 450+ community organizers, civil activists and leaders, working tirelessly to advance social and environmental justice in Central and Eastern Europe, and the US.

Our funding was cut, but we are determined to keep engaging and supporting our community members, and keep promoting community organizing, especially in communities and regions where social justice and human rights are most at risk.

To be able to do that we seek resources for the Dave Beckwith Memorial Fund. It would allow us to stay together in 2026 and depending on the resources we manage to raise would:
👉 Keep 500+ organizers connected and informed by operational channels, including website, newsletter, social media groups;
👉 Organize virtual community events on topics of common interest;
👉 Pilot affinity groups and community of practice;
👉 Launch peer-to-peer program for mentoring and community support;
👉 Recruit and train a new cohort of organizers from Central and Eastern Europe;
👉 Support trips between the US and Central and Eastern Europe, expanding impact in the sending and hosting communities.

Our alumni continue fighting for social and environmental justice in an increasingly difficult context and our network wants to support them. Please help us do that!

The U.S. Department of State has announced the 2025 Alumni Impact Awards, which will honor alumni whose participation in the program contributed to their ability to make a positive impact on their communities, regions, or countries. The award will cover all travel expenses related to attending the Professional Fellows Congress in Washington, DC in June 2025, and will include the opportunity to deliver a speech to the current cohort of Professional Fellows. As an awardee, you would be publicly recognized for your success, and you would have the opportunity to mentor the next generation of emerging leaders and inspire them with your story of how your Professional Fellows Program led to your current achievements.

We hope that you will consider applying for this award. The application requires two short essays (250-600 words) and one letter of recommendation from someone who is familiar with your professional work. The full announcement is attached; the deadline is November 15th, 2024. For more information and to apply, please check the GLC Alumni newsletter for October 2024.
