In early 2017, Crossroads Fund opened the Critical Response Fund (CRF) to support grassroots organizations protecting and empowering community members in this time of heightened racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and xenophobia.

Crossroads Fund is excited to announce a new series highlighting inspiring individuals in movement work. Our first profile features the dedication of one committed community leader and volunteer, Lizette Garza.

Lizette, a Chicago native and Pilsen resident with a passion for hip-hop and youth development, currently works as a Program Specialist with After School Matters. She participated in the 2017 Giving Project and is now a member of the Communications and Fundraising Committee at Crossroads Fund.

The president is a coward. Yesterday President Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that was enacted by President Obama in 2012. He didn't have the courage to make the announcement himself.
