How We Work
As an organization, we view our staff as agents of change in the world and we want them to be able to lead their work and personal lives with presence, power and vision.
By 2033, we will improve dramatically the material conditions for people struggling to make ends meet in the United States, particularly poor people of color, as measured by changes in poverty rates and racial and gender disparities.

After an abrupt pivot in March 2020, we decided to support a permanent transition to remote work for most staff.
