Working with Social Justice Allies

How we work to make cities more equitable

In the community:

• Build the civic skills and power of individuals who have been historically excluded from civic processes
• Provide training on intersectional feminism, community organizing, engagement and campaigning
• Collaborate with community groups and front-line organizations to advocate on equity issues

At the systems level:

• Develop resources to support civic engagement and democratic participation 
• Amplify priorities of equity-deserving communities in city halls
• Challenge local policies and decisions that harm communities that are made marginalized
• Collaborate with government officials to champion equity-driven policies
• Create tools and resources to accelerate action on critical equity issues 
• Hold electeds accountable to follow through on their commitments to equity-deserving communities
• Conduct research to understand and amplify systemic barriers to participation and progress
