Notes

1. Leeway is a trans-affirming organization committed to gender self-determination, and we use the term “trans” in its most inclusive sense, as an umbrella term encompassing transsexual, transgender, genderqueer, TwoSpirit people, and anyone whose gender identity or gender expression is nonconforming and/or different from their gender assigned at birth. 2. leeway.org/about/mission 3. As part of the impact assessment process, Leeway has produced a video, “Shifting Power: Leeway’s History,” that explains this process in more depth and can be found at www.leeway.org. 4. “Radical hospitality” is a term often used in the American liberal Christian tradition. It is a way to describe how one might meet a stranger not only politely but with “revolutionary generosity.” See for example: uua. orgworship/words/sermon/radical-hospitality 5. As part of the impact assessment process, Leeway has produced a video, “Planting Seeds: Leeway’s Grantmaking Model,” that explains this grantmaking process in more depth and can be found at leeway.org. 6. Bread & Roses Community Fund, a local foundation, organizes donors at all levels to support communitybased groups in building movements for racial equity and economic opportunity and is a key local partner of Leeway Foundation. 7. rauschenbergfoundation.org/grants/art-grants/artist-as-activist 8. nathancummings.org 9. breadrosesfund.org 10. fex.org 11.

One of five purposes of the Leeway grant programs listed in the 2019 Leeway Art and Change Grant “Charge to the Panel.” 23. Because this impact assessment process was not intended as a large-scale study, we didn’t also interview members of the artists and cultural producers’ community to see if in fact they were changed by engaging with the art. We assume in good faith that the artists and cultural producers are telling the truth when they report their lived experience of watching and knowing that other members of their community have a response to their art. 24.

The Leeway executive director noted that a key factor in the development of her organizing practice was working with the Women’s Revitalization Project (wcrpphila.org) in the 1990s, and specifically on the Center for Third World Organizing’s model.
