OUR FOUNDATIONS
Pillars of Social Change
Purposefully organizing grassroots groups to claim their space and work toward a common goal.
Create Change
Occupy civic spaces in urban and rural areas to drive transformation, co-produce knowledge, and proactively influence policies for informal settlements.
Resist Change
Challenge anti-poor policies, resist unmitigated developmental expulsions, and project community land rights against exclusion.
Provide Political Voice
Amplify the voices of those otherwise disenfranchised through civil rights coalitions, public debate, and community negotiation.
DAILY PRACTICE
🤝 Federation Building Rituals
These interventions entail the ongoing formation and animation of social movements to organize on their own issues, working through rituals of bonding among movement members.
