Western States Center

Common Good Program

2022

$300,000 over two years

Western States Center (WSC) is a national organization that trains community organizers to build a more inclusive democracy. Eric K. Ward, the center’s Executive Director, has studied white supremacy for more than 20 years and has made combatting antisemitism central to his work. For WSC, this means helping institutions and activists understand how antisemitism animates White Nationalism and the ways in which antisemitism and other forms of racism are thus inextricably linked. Among other WSC programs, this renewal grant will support the Common Good Fellowship for multidisciplinary leaders led by Megan Black.
