Weighted draw as portal work

Fondation Marius Jacobs explains their work as 'a tool for emancipation and social transformation, radical ecological transition and the fight against all forms of domination / un outil au service de l’émancipation et de la transformation sociale, de la transition écologique radicale et de la lutte contre toute forme de domination'. The tools in question is money and infrastructure; the foundation depends on regular payments by members of 1 0r 2% of their income to distribute grants and to support the administration of radical initiatives.

Of course, there are many ways portal work is being done through the way the foundation functions itself. One that stands out clearly, is the lottery system that is used to decide who will decide who to transfer the mutualised funds to. Based on a self-assessment in the form of a list of privileges (which was recently updated to include mental health and access to material assistance), members or mutulitariseur.ices increase or lower their chance in the weighted draw that decides who will be called for the monthly ACAB (Cooperative Grant Award Assembly / L’Assemblée Coopérative d'Attribution des Bourses).
