We are proud to work with an incredible group of organizers. Over the next six months, each organizer will be awarded a micro-grant and participate in professional leadership coaching through our partner A-Plan Coaching. Each organizer will leave with better defined social agency, increased competency around movement building, and equipped with tools to collectively challenge oppressive systems.
