This header runs across the top of the page. It shows three members of a larger group of activists. They are smiling and cheering and holding a colorful, hand-painted, round, cotton sheet about twenty-five feet in diameter. In the middle of the sheet is a drawing of a monarch butterfly. Around the circumference of the sheet is a message in Spanish: “El Cambio Climático Nos Afecta Todos” – “Climate Change Affects Us All.”

Activists and
Non-Profit Professionals

A middle-aged white activist holds above their head a print of the Defend Dignity image from Shephard Fairey’s We the People series. The image is a heroic rendering of Chicana activist Maribel Váldez González.

Courage. Vision. Creativity. Intelligence. Commitment. Conscience. Joy.

Activists and non-profit professionals transform these priceless community resources into results that enrich us all.

I worked thirty rewarding years in human rights, environment, and community development. Along the way, I learned that my most valuable contribution to the global movement for justice is to support activists as they find, forge, and flourish on the paths that equip them to make their own difference in their own way.

Our partnerships consider the big picture and the details that create it. We explore and clarify challenges. We open doors and build structure, solutions, and plans that help leaders transform vision into reality.

Each partnership and each project is unique. But always, our work is driven by purpose, a clear-eyed recognition of reality, and an unwavering commitment to a brighter vision for who we are and what we will be.
