Most organizations rush into programming without building sustainable systems first. We're taking a different approach because we believe how we organize ourselves is just as important as the work we do.
Instead of launching campaigns immediately, we're spending time understanding what people actually need, designing ethical partnership models, and creating systems that honor everyone's full humanity and varying capacity. This means building governance structures and partnership frameworks that embody mutual aid rather than replicating oppressive organizational patterns.
We're designing organizational structures where everyone doing the work has power to influence the programs they work on, their workplace conditions, and the overall direction of the organization. This means moving beyond traditional hierarchies where a director or board makes all decisions. Instead, we're building systems where workers collectively shape both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy, ensuring that those closest to the work have meaningful say in how it gets done.
We're investigating legal and funding structures that align with liberation values rather than compromising our principles for financial stability. This includes exploring fiscal sponsors that support liberation work and solidarity economy funding models that prioritize community wellbeing over profit extraction.
We're creating ways for people to contribute their skills that honor their full lives and varying capacity levels. This includes capacity-aware role descriptions, multiple engagement levels, and systems that make it easy for people to step up or step back.
We're developing approaches to work WITH grassroots organizations and content creators rather than imposing our agenda. This means mutual aid models where we learn from frontline expertise while providing marketing support.
We're gathering insights directly from system-weary people, liberation content creators, and grassroots organizations through surveys, listening circles, and conversations about their actual needs and challenges.
Current phase: We're a volunteer-led mutual aid network. Our core crew includes parents, full-time workers, small business owners, and community members contributing their skills while maintaining their other life responsibilities.
Next phase: Once we secure fiscal sponsorship and initial funding, we'll transition to a worker self-directed nonprofit where the people doing the work have control over organizational direction.
This transition embeds liberation values into how we operate, not just what we produce, proving that organizations can grow sustainably while maintaining horizontal principles and community accountability.
We're in foundational building mode, which means we're not ready to launch marketing campaigns yet. This transparency helps set realistic expectations and allows people to engage with us based on where we actually are.
What needs to happen before campaign launch:
Following our progress: You can stay connected through volunteer opportunities, survey participation, community research involvement, and updates about organizational milestones.
We're moving at the speed of wellbeing rather than rushing to meet external expectations. This ensures we build something that lasts and serves liberation movements effectively.
