It started with clowns in lab coats.<\/p>\n

Outside a major hospital in Barcelona, activists staged a carnival: a rigged Wheel of Fortune, unwinnable shell games, and pharma execs as the only real \u201cwinners.\u201d<\/p>\n

It looked like a prank.<\/p>\n

But it was a protest.<\/p>\n

They were calling out the outrageous price of hepatitis C treatment, and it worked. People laughed, stopped, and acted, writing complaint letters to the government and the pharmaceutical company.<\/p>\n

This April Fool\u2019s Day, the world already feels like a joke, but the punchline shouldn\u2019t be our rights, our safety, or our future. That\u2019s why we\u2019re launching our spring fundraising campaign today.<\/p>\n

If you believe, like we do, that imagination isn\u2019t a luxury but a necessity for social change, your donation turns that belief into action. It fuels training for activists and artists who are building campaigns that don\u2019t just resist oppression; they reimagine what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not just giving money.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re fueling joyful resistance, bold strategy, and the tools people need to win real change in their communities and beyond.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re asking for your support because even though philanthropic institutions are floundering right now, we refuse to back down.\u00a0Activism needs wins and momentum, and we can make it happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So we\u2019re reaching out to you \u2013 our community. With your support, we\u2019ll be able to provide advocates, artists, and activists with what they need to win, with programs like:<\/p>\n
