About us
We are a collaborative, multidisciplinary network dedicated to advancing collective resilience.
What we believe
We believe that building collective resilience promotes vitality, healing, and transformation in our kinships, communities, and organizations.
We advocate for ideas and practices that are:
Emergent
We hold space for ongoing reflection and evolution, and actively engage in co-creation.
Equitable
We seek to advance social, economic, and racial justice.
Inclusive
We include a multiplicity of voices and imaginations. We believe in intersectional and participatory processes.
Relational
Our work is grounded in kinships, communities, and organizations. It centers the collective ‘we.’
Resourceful
We build on existing strengths, values, resources, and connections. We seek to be generative and adaptive.
Systemic
We understand problems and possibilities to arise from dynamic, interconnected systems.
Our focus
At the moment, our efforts are dedicated to responding to two crises facing our communities—COVID-19 and racism. We are committed to advancing collective solutions to these complex problems.
Our primary areas of focus are:
Creating resources for resilience
We develop new projects and resources to promote collective resilience in scalable, meaningful ways.
Advancing equity and inclusion
We openly discuss power differentials, inclusion, and marginalization. Through these dialogues, we aim to model transparency and accountability.
Consulting
We support one another in developing initiatives that promote collective resilience. We also provide strategic consultation for select external projects.
Building resilience is a community effort. Connect with us to join our network and help build more vibrant futures.
