RAFI (Raising Awareness and Funds Initiative) is an Amsterdam founded initiative that aims to raise awareness and funds in support of and in solidarity with dire global and political currents. 

We aim to respond to different (yet intersecting) forms of oppression regionally and globally through local collectivization and collaboration.

Through education, fundraising, and conversation, we are continuously looking for ways to navigate both desensitization and isolation under the weight of global suffering and grief. 

In the words of Jared A. Loggins: “Solidarity is building collective power on the premise that something which has happened to you should happen to nobody”.

Being aware that one individual, organization, event or even global movement is not enough to secure freedom and stop oppression globally, we believe in concentrated efforts to spread attentiveness and care and activate communities locally.

Circulating within the (unfolding) Palestinian tragedy: "Let Your Heartbreak Politicize You, Let Your Heartbreak Radicalize You, Let Your Heartbreak Organize You" (inspired by Mariane Kaba), RAFI follows the initiative of radically deconstructing our thought patterns and putting our collaborative efforts to use for those politically oppressed.
