decolonize! is CRIF’s first grantmaking portfolio. It is an opportunity to radically re-imagine resourcing a children’s rights movement—one that courageously contends with the legacies and current realities of colonialism and racism by resourcing the work of Black youth workers, children and youth activists in West Africa and the Americas.
decolonize! will provide funding opportunities for children and youth activists to connect across communities, countries, and continents to learn more about how racism, anti-Blackness, and colonialism operate—and to share strategies and approaches on how to tear them down.
To learn more about decolonize! please check out our newest resource: CRIF’s decolonize! Learning Brief vol. 1, no. 1.
