Brown Bag Series: Resource Regenerative Movement Economies

Despite a few unfortunately technical difficulties we had a pretty great discussion last week on  Resourcing Regenerative Movement Ecologies.We are posting the video here in case you missed it. Our next series will be Love Based Abolition so stay tuned! 

You can also view the slide show presentation here.

WHO: This online event is primarily for people who want to hear directly from movements about the infrastructure investments and changes in culture and praxis needed to fight authoritarianism and build democracy in this moment.

WHAT: This Brown Bag series will explore lessons learned from the last years of Trump Administration and how those lessons can inform our strategy moving forward. Further it will offer an outline of possible strategy for building new movement infrastructure that can support movements in this morning. It will feature organizations holding down aspects of the strategy that funders can consider funding.

The pillars of the strategy include:

• Building Liberatory Movement Culture and Telling A New Story of Revolution
• Resourcing Organization As A Vocation
• Resourcing Movement Defense
• Resourcing Recovery, Not Just The Fight
• Resource Regenerative Movement Economies

WHY: With Trumpism in power in the House, Senate, Supreme Court and many local governments movements face threats they are not currently equipped to handle. Fortunately, we have learned some lessons from the last Trump administration that, with funder resources, we can turn into practical movement infrastructure that can resist the destruction of movements and erosion of our freedoms. By partnering with movements capable of holding down aspects of this strategy we hope to support funders in getting money to where it is needed quickly and strategically.
