Move the Money, Trust the People: Funding Gender Justice Through Polycrisis

As authoritarianism rises and crises compound, our movements don’t just need more resources. We need to rethink how money moves, who gets to decide where it goes, and what it means to resource resistance with trust and accountability. In the latest episode of Resourcing Resistance, we’re joined by Morgan (Mo) Willis, Third Wave Fund’s Co-Executive Director, and alicia sanchez gill, Executive Director of Emergent Fund, for a conversation about trust-based philanthropy, rapid response funding, long-term investment, and the urgent work of redistributing wealth.

Art As A Weapon & Way Through

Art is not an accessory to movement– it propels the movement forward and grows it. A conversation with Third Wave Fund’s first artist-in-residence, Chi Nwosu and Monica Trinidad — our Director of Communications — this episode explores how cultural work shapes political possibility. From storytelling to visual practice, we examine why all art is political, how artists expand what we can imagine, and why resourcing cultural work and radical imagining is essential to building liberated futures.
