can’t believe we were awarded a P4A grant!!

Tumblr friends I know it has been to long. I have to get back over here. This is a nice place. But I need to ask your help right now. There is an organization called ASISTA that serves persons without documentation who are victims of domestic or sexual violence--I’m talking about the people who can’t call 911 or go to the emergency room. And right now, I’m talking about the people who are trapped with their abusers because of ICE. The executive director has been my friend since we were eight, and I have watched what ASISTA has been doing all along--and what they are doing RIGHT NOW is nothing less than superhuman. But because of *points at everything* they are running out of money fast because they need to do so much.

tl:dr they are up for a #p4a2025 grant, and all I am asking for you to to click the VOTE button on this for them to get the grant money. If you could share this as well, you would do even more. Seriously These are the people on the front lines and you can help with literally a click and a share.

AND I WILL BE BACK HERE!

Do you currently use or have you used Scarleteen for yourself as a young person, as a peer or adult educator, healthcare provider or other supportive adult, as a parent or guardian or in some other capacity? Are you comfortable being on video? Scarleteen plans to submit a video for Project For Awesome in 2025 and we’re asking you, the people Scarleteen has actually helped, for your help and participation in the video! Project For Awesome is an annual fundraising initiative that was started in 2007 by Hank and John Green, AKA the Vlogbrothers. During Project for Awesome, a plethora of organizations and individuals post videos advocating for causes that “decrease the overall level of world suck.” During P4A, these videos are shared widely; and over the course of a 48-hour livestream, a great deal of money is raised for the most popular causes. As an organization that has been working diligently to decrease the overall level of world suck for over 25 years, and has done so for millions upon millions of people all around the world, and who also is and has always been deeply underfunded, we feel like Project for Awesome is just the right place for us. Our goal with our video is to communicate the awesomeness of Scarleteen through your stories and your voices. We're asking you to capture yourself on video talking about your experience with Scarleteen so we can hear from you in your own words. Your personal experiences with Scarleteen will help us demonstrate that our work is vital, life-changing, has long decreased and continues to decrease the overall level of world suck, and in their words, is awesome.
