The http://www.creativeresistancefund.org">Creative Resistance Fund (CRF) is the newest service of http://www.freedimensional.org">freeDimensional (fD).  CRF provides small distress grants to people in danger due to their use of creativity to fight injustice.  The fund may be used to evacuate a dangerous situation; to cover living expenses while weighing long-term options for safety; or to act on a strategic opportunity to affect social change.  Here's how you can get involved:

(1) We welcome http://creativeresistancefund.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/CRF_Application_Form.pdf">funding nominations from artist residencies accommodating culture workers-in-distress or by fellow artists who know of a colleague in trouble;

(2) Pass this call along to your networks so that they have it on hand when a need arises;

(3) We also welcome nominations for our core service called http://freedimensional.org/services/distress-services/creative-safe-haven/">Creative Safe Haven;

(4) If you are safe and warm, but want to make sure that there is support for artists doing the work of activists all over the world, then please consider https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=xnVgxiRi-cJ452qDh891tr5IK3wcW3RfFAj9BkS5MwuN0zOwmkdM7Hg1cSi&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8dc60d77e6184470d515cedf52660ea0cd">making a donation.
