Resilience-Based Organizing

We support grassroots and community-based organizations in implementing new organizing and campaign strategies based on building community resilience and local living economy projects that directly meet peoples’ needs while building power towards local and regional governance. We believe that building the capacity of communities to be responsive to changing conditions, both economically and ecologically, is a key to building ecological justice. Resilience-based organizing includes reclaiming land for community benefit, building new economic institutions based on mutual self-reliance and reclaiming control of our water and food. We believe that this organizing should pick the fights that create opportunities to change who controls the decisions that effect our lives.
