OUR THEORY OF CHANGE

Too often, transformation and healing are treated as add-ons to our organizing something we get to if there’s time, or once the “real” work is done. But as we face intensifying attacks on our people, our movements, and the very idea of liberation, it’s clear: we can’t afford to keep pushing healing to the margins.

That’s why we’ve chosen a different path: one that brings organizing and healing together which makes organizing and personal transformation scalable through their integration. We don’t see healing as separate —it’s integral to how we build power. When people feel seen, when they start to believe they deserve freedom and belonging, their sense of agency grows. And from that place, they become not just organizers—but transformed leaders. This isn’t just about wellness. It’s strategy. Organizers who are grounded and whole are more effective. They build deeper relationships. They move through conflict with more skill (AND there will be conflict) and they stay in the work longer.
