We collaborate with impacted communities and partners across sectors to reveal and address complex problems.

We use mixed methods evaluation, quantitative survey, qualitative focus group and semi-structured interviews, and other emerging methodologies co-designed by impacted communities.

We elevate how community members are creating knowledge in their everyday lives and identify concrete changes that make a difference.

Through our community-led process, we co-develop new ways of knowing or understanding problems, collecting and making meaning of data, and translating that information into specific changes to policy and practice.

We create intentional space for partners to engage in ongoing learning and redirect power to community to name and solve problems on their own terms.

Utilizing our skills in facilitation, we name and mitigate the harms of white supremacy culture, expect and manage tension and conflict, and hold all partners accountable to the inherent leadership of impacted communities.

We rebalance power by convening new tables that bring stakeholders together across difference and grow community capacity.

Our relational approach supports community members in building their own capacity and leadership, and seeks to fundamentally transform how partners with differential power work with communities in the long term.

We amplify lived experiences that reveal root causes of racial injustice and reshape critical discussion and debates at the local and national level.

By creating space for impacted communities and their co-conspirators to radically reimagine our collective futures, we raise up narratives and share perspectives that disrupt dominant cultures, histories and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment to challenge what we think we know and uplift new narratives.
