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.

  • Civil Disobedience as Democratic Resistance
    methodology: civil-disobedience-support
    By supporting civil disobedience movements, including general strikes and worker resistance, we weaken military control and sustain democratic momentum, because nonviolent disruption of state operations creates political pressure and empowers popular sovereignty.
  • Locally-Led Mutual Aid Networks
    methodology: horizontal mutual aid network support
    By channeling resources through existing, horizontally organized mutual aid networks in Myanmar, we ensure aid reaches those most in need and aligns with community priorities, because local leadership increases responsiveness, trust, and program effectiveness.
  • Nonpartisan, People-Centered Democracy Support
    methodology: nonpartisan-democracy-support
    By remaining independent from political parties and state institutions, we strengthen grassroots democratic movements, because neutrality enables broad-based inclusion and ensures that support is aligned with self-determination rather than external agendas.
