Our MISSION is to be agents of change cultivating equitable communities through Knowledge Sharing, Community Connections, and actionable Coalition Building.
Our VISION is true change created by the sharing of knowledge, strengthened by community connections, and united in collective action for a more just and equitable society.
“A movement starts with a set of people who have a shared experience about an injustice, discrimination, or stigma… or they want to change something… then they come together to break the isolation of the experience of injustice… they build together their collective power, their collective agency for change.”
— Srilatha Batliwala
