It’s time

Those dedicated to democracy, justice, and human rights deserve the best training and resources. Unfortunately, ideas that win don’t always reach those needing them most because of geography, finances, and other barriers. The Center for Artistic Activism is dedicated to making valuable information accessible to all through our practical approach and open distribution.

Your contribution helps us to reach those who need it most. Thank you!

The Center for Artistic Activism is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Our Tax ID Number is 45-3557000. Please contact manager@c4aa.org if you have any questions or need assistance making your gift.
