HOW WE MOVE
Collaborating
Collaborating with Black people around the world to build power by linking people and groups to each other, developing new projects that bring Black people together and supporting existing projects
Connecting
Connecting the Black people to each other to build relationships, awareness, and stronger bonds through events, media, and policy/advocacy work
Advocacy
Advocacy on issues and policy to raise awareness of concern to Black people around the world by spearheading working groups, facilitating collaborative strategy sessions, launching advocacy campaigns and amplifying existing campaigns
Learning
Learning about each other, about the issues that affect us through webinars and teach-ins, toolkits, explainers, and other tools
There is an increasing interest in efforts to address issues faced by Black people from a global perspective.
This includes issues such as reparations, climate, and state violence. There are few organizations with the capacity and reach to effectively take on this challenge in a cohesive and informed way.
