The UPLift with Tzedek: Real Talk for Real Change
Welcome to The UPlift - Real Talk for Real Change! We're here to build authentic community relationships and help fuel social transformation in Asheville, NC, believing collective liberation is not only possible but probable as we share, listen, and learn together.
The Tzedek Social Justice Fund is a social justice philanthropy fund that redistributes money, resources, and power to support systems change and community healing in Asheville, North Carolina. Through adaptive, trust-based philanthropy, we resist oppressive systems and work to transform our collective home into a place where everyone flourishes. We fund mission-aligned work centering LGBTQ Justice, Racial Justice, and/or Dismantling Antisemitism; this means we give money to organizations and individuals invested in creating a more fair, equitable, and flourishing society.
We dream of a thriving Asheville where everyone's needs are abundantly met - where everyone is safe, respected, and celebrated. We believe that a community rooted in joy and love is possible - that is, if we can connect and build our shared vision on the value that liberation is for all.
Sound good to you? We hope so!
Let's be real. Let's go deep. Let's get liberated.

A Culture of Care: Insights from the Last 8 Years
What does it mean to build a culture of care? This month, we answer this question as we say goodbye to our outgoing Director of Mindful Operations & Finance, Lindsay Majer, who shares her experiences and reflects on her growth during her eight-year journey at Tzedek.
In this episode, Lindsay opens up about the complexities of crafting people-centered policies that align with organizational values and withstand legal scrutiny. This candid conversation offers a glimpse of the struggles around identity, privilege, and trust innate to equity work as we examine what it truly means to create and maintain an organizational culture of care.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion and heartfelt farewell as we honor Lindsay's contributions, spirit, and service. We are honored to call you colleague and co-conspirator in this shared pursuit for a more just and equitable world.
We'll see you same time, same place next month. Until then, peace.
