Our Goals
We aim to ease the path to leadership, particularly for women of color, and we recognize that mobility among organizations can benefit both the movement and the person.
We incorporate leadership development into every aspect of our campaign work, and we provide opportunities for deep, ongoing support to groups who are critical to advancing key issue areas and whose leadership is essential for building a powerful progressive movement.
