Social Change Organizers of Color Invited to Apply for Alston/Bannerman Fellowship 
  Deadline: December 1, 2005 


  The Alston/Bannerman Fellowship Program is committed to advancing progressive social change by helping to sustain long-time activists of color. The program is designed to give these activists the financial support and freedom 
  to "take a break and recharge." 


  Each year, ten organizers of color working for social change on a broad range of issues are awarded the Alston/Bannerman Fellowship. Fellows receive $15,000 to take sabbaticals of three months or more. Previous fellows 
  have worked on issues from environmental justice to fair wages, from immigrant rights to native sovereignty, from 
  political empowerment to economic revitalization. Fellows have the freedom to use their sabbaticals however they 
  think will best re-energize them for the work ahead. 


  To qualify for an Alston/Bannerman Fellowship, an applicant must be a person of color; have more than ten 
  years of community organizing experience; be committed to continuing to work for social change; and live in the 
  United States or its territories. Both individuals for whom organizing is a full-time job and those for whom it 
  is voluntary work done outside of their employment are eligible to apply. 


  Visit the program's Web site for complete fellowship guidelines, application materials, and information on 
  previous recipients.
