We are getting a new look - this is just a sneak peek. We’re excited to unveil our fully redesigned website later this year!
Our 2016-2018 Report to the Community is packed with details of what we accomplished with your support over the past two years. Hear the voices, see the faces, and savor the results of the work we’ve done together.
Building Movement
We strengthen the organizing capacity of often-marginalized communities, with a particular emphasis on gender justice, racial justice, and tribal sovereignty work.
Developing Leaders
We provide training, leadership development, and organizational capacity support to social movements and leaders committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Shifting Culture
We convene culture-makers to shift the narrative and use culture as a vehicle for base- and power-building in non-traditional social change spaces.
Defending Democracy
We assist communities and civil society to effectively respond to social movements that exploit bigotry and intolerance.
