Our Team

Our organization comprises three functions: research, organizing, and content. Each contributes to equipping social justice leaders and changemakers with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to make durable social change.

We collaborate with changemakers to challenge the power of harmful narratives through organizing, story, and research .

We forge and enrich bonds among communities to nurture a shared vision and broaden their impact.

Icons-25.png

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.
