Transform unequal power relations
To achieve the kind of society we want, aspirations are not enough because the deep-seated unequal power relations that maintain authoritarianism, violence, discrimination and exclusion don’t change on their own; people have to work to change them.
At home, in bed and on the street
Achieving attitudes and practices based on values grounded in democracy, equity and mutual respect at home, in bed and on the street, requires change on many fronts: in individuals and in interpersonal and family relationships, in social norms and popular culture, at the community level, in organizations and institutions, and in policies and the political culture.
Change starts with the people who work for it
We work with the people who are promoting progressive social change: activists and leaders working in their communities, organizations, institutions, media, and in social movements, people who are working for the rights of women of all ages, LGBTIQ+ folks, and the Central American migrant community.
Collective action is key
Even when individuals are the driving force for these changes, change isn’t achieved through individual effort alone. It requires not only collective and community actions, but also groups and organizations coming together in social movements to demand and build the world they want to live in.
