Movement & Community Building
Our work at the movement level seeks to knit together the widespread efforts of individuals and organizations into a powerful, collective force for change. There is a revolution underway to evolve the environmental movement from a historically homogeneous field into a diverse and inclusive multicultural coalition. We provide platforms for connection, coordination, and learning to accelerate this transformation: tools for effective, culturally competent engagement of communities of color; facilitation of meaningful and equitable dialogue; fostering of critical connections and relationship building; and engagement of diverse stakeholders.
“[What was most impactful was] going through the journey of building trust, listening and speaking with a diverse group of people from around the country about the incredibly personal and emotional topic of race. Then, walking away feeling like I had a giant support group to move forward with on diversity & equity work.”
