MOVEMENT COMMONS CULTURE & COLLECTIVE ACTION LAB

Collective Action Cohort for Movement-Building Development Directors & Resource Mobilizers

“Together, development staff touch more individuals than any other role in our ecosystem and are often responsible for a person’s first direct experience with social movements. We collectively shape how a majority of people are both welcomed into and regularly experience our communities. In turn, whether with intention or not, our aggregated choices and actions shape and reshape movement culture well beyond our individual institutions.” Learn more

Social Justice Giving Circle Project Cohort

“In this time, when we’re so often only seen as individual donors, we’ll explore how we might show up with both more of us and more from us. And we’ll center the development of our relationship with social movements at their best and most powerful – movements where we find belonging and our best selves coming out in the world, and movements that grow to be both irresistible and irreversible in our lives.” Learn more

Justice Funders puts our values into practice through our Culture & Collective Action Lab. We partner with movement and philanthropic leaders to design, pilot, and scale cross-organizational & cross-sector collective action interventions that advance social movements.

New website coming next year.
