How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Cross-Class Leadership and Personal-Structural Integrationmethodology: personal-structural-change-integrationBy integrating personal transformation—such as healing and self-work—with cross-class relationship-building, the organization strengthens movement leadership because addressing internalized class privilege is essential to building authentic solidarity and effective structural change.
- Intergenerational Redistribution Through Privileged Youth Organizingmethodology: intergenerational-wealth-redistributionBy organizing young people (18–35) with wealth and class privilege into a base for collective action, the organization leverages their access to capital and networks to redistribute wealth and power, because sustained engagement of this group enables long-term structural shifts beyond charity.
- Racial Wealth Justice and Movement-Led Resourcingmethodology: racial-wealth-justiceBy centering the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities in determining how resources are allocated, the organization advances systemic change because such communities are best positioned to identify and address the root causes of injustice, countering funder-driven agendas that reproduce racial capitalism.
- Solidarity-Based Systems Change and Transformative Investingmethodology: systems-changeBy advancing unrestricted funding, long-term commitments, and mission-aligned investing—including shifting capital to solidarity economies—the organization enables grassroots movements to exercise autonomy and build collective power, because financial sovereignty is foundational to systemic transformation.
