Radical Resourcing: Imagining New Ways to Fund Our Work

What’s the opposite of organized abandonment? How can we fund THAT? How can we use the assets of our community to get us what we need instead of relying on institutional funding? This talk issues a call to reimagine funding not as a hustle, but as a deeply relational, power-shifting practice. This talk explores models of alternative resourcing, mutual aid, cooperatives, wealth redistribution, and post-capitalist resource flows that put community first.

Fundraisers as Culture Change Workers

A mic-drop keynote session that reminds fundraising professionals they’re doing so much more than asking for dollars—they’re giving people a role in creating the world we all imagine to be possible. This talk reframes fundraising as culture-building, movement-sustaining work, and positions fundraisers as essential storytellers, power-shifters, and narrative disruptors in the fight for justice.

Community Is a Verb: Small Actions, Big Shifts

This talk explores what it really means to show up for one another. Drawing on Kat’s experience in immigration justice work and mutual aid organizing, it’s a call to reimagine community not as a place or identity, but as a practice—a daily decision to act in solidarity. From neighborhood-level care to global movements, this session inspires everyday people (not just “activists”) to see their role in building the kind of world we all deserve. It’s about behavior change, relational power, and the radical potential of showing up.
