// About Us
Shifting deep narratives.
Narratives shape who we are, what we value, and what we aspire to become. Our current dominant narratives sustain patterns of inequity and harm, and reflect the worldview of a few powerful actors. We believe better narratives can extend power to those with the most at stake, and nurture a shared vision for common good.
At Narrative Initiative (NI), we believe that narrative is a form of power. We equip social justice leaders with the knowledge, resources, and skills necessary to harness narrative power and create durable social change.
A multidisciplinary team
Our team is small, mighty, and multidisciplinary, and our approach to narrative change centers organizing. This is what we do:
We collaborate with changemakers to challenge the power of harmful narratives through organizing, story, and research;
We forge and enrich bonds among organizations and constituents to cultivate alignment and broaden their impact;
We listen deeply and think critically about equity, justice, and repair;
We create and share, in partnership with those with the most at stake, a vision for the common good.
