We’re here to support, amplify, and accelerate change for people and planet
Around the world, we're witnessing the effects of broken systems that do not serve the majority of people on this planet or the natural systems we rely on.
Wildfires raging out of control, threats of violence and war, a growing chasm between the wealthiest on this planet and everybody else. Governments no longer work for the people they represent but for the puppet masters who pull the strings for their own personal gain.
It can be hard to look to the future without a sense of unease, to find hope in these dark times. And the people who created this mess, those holding onto power at all costs, will not be the ones to lead us to solutions that work for everyone.
But there are millions of many people around the world working on the ground to bring about solutions, bringing people together to find a common path forward to address our many root problems.
We want to bring together a global community of change makers to speed up and usher in a better human reality and future in harmony with the planet. It's not our place to say what exactly that looks like, but we want to unite change makers across the world to make their visions a reality.
We are currently running a project called the Deep Listening. The co-founders are reaching out to activists across all continents to understand what their hopes are in regards to tackling the root causes of inequality and injustice.
The co-founders of our organisation are a group of women from around the world who have come together to find a better way of supporting grassroots activism and change making. We are all activists and have been supporting other campaigners for decades and know there is real opportunity for change.
