We’re a community of leaders, organizers, and strategists forging multi-racial feminist democracy and economies in our cities and towns. Through local organizing, we’re sparking national transformation rooted in abundance, common good, freedom, and joy. Our network of 20 grassroots affiliates weaves strategic alliances and alignments amongst labor, neighborhood, housing, racial justice, faith, ethnic-based, and environmental organizations. Together, we’re building people power and people’s institutions. We win innovative public policy and rein in greedy corporations to realize our collective freedom and liberation. Our work is grounded in replacing the interlocking chains of oppression — economic exploitation, white supremacy, gender violence — with systems built for human dignity and authentic democracy. We believe that everyday people can transform the economy, government, and public goods in our communities.
