Nurturing Transformational

Movement Leadership

d

We know that:

The ecological, economic, and social challenges we face are interconnected.

All life on this planet is inherently interdependent.

To survive climate disruption we need to fundamentally – and quickly -- change the way we live.

If we collectively agreed on the solutions, we would be doing them already.

Shifts are already underway that can lead us in the right direction.

To create the change needed in the world, we need to be willing and ready to change ourselves.

Successfully transforming the way people live requires and invites nonlinear change.

The Problem

People & societies currently organize our lives in ways that are destroying people and the planet.

U.S. social justice movements are doing good work but not creating the impact we need.

Why This, Why Now?

How do we shift from a world organized around domination and extraction to a world organized towards community resilience and regeneration?

Intended Impact

• Cross-movement connectivity, alignment, coordination, and collaboration.

• New ways of being and working; the ability to shift habits.

• Skills to lead proactively with expansive and inclusive vision.

• New, synchronous strategies emerge.

• Bold, aligned action based on shared vision, narratives, and learning.

• Momentum for collective change.

Emergent,

non-linear change

produces unexpected

outcomes.
