WE ARE CREATING A WORLD WHERE GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS,
DONORS AND ALLIES BELONG TOGETHER
Join this grassroots-led movement calling for an overhaul of the relationships and systems between activists, donors and ally organisations. Now more than ever, we must break down barriers that separate us. We need to build radical solidarity, release the flow of resources and care for activists on the front lines and work together to drive positive social change.
Let’s Start the Grassroots Solidarity Revolution!
We are mobilising a global community to cultivate trust, new ways of thinking, deeper
conversation and meaningful collaboration between grassroots activists, donors and allies.
These are five actions that you can take now to help drive this collective revolution:
Create awareness about this revolution and the need for radical solidarity and alliances between activists, donors and allies.
Amplify the voices and visions of grassroots groups and activists that have been repeatedly excluded from similar efforts and narratives.
Create, invest in and join inclusive spaces where activists, donors and allies connect directly, cultivate meaningful relationships and build trust and mutual understanding.
Donors and allies should commit to co-creating resourcing alternatives and solutions with grassroots groups, placing their visions and needs at the core.
Share your learning and transformation journey to inspire others. This movement needs collective action and collective learning!
WHY THIS REVOLUTION?
The lack of mutual understanding, connection barriers and even power dynamics between grassroots activists, donors and allies are blocking the flow of resources and the alliances needed to support the brave work of grassroots activists. Activists have been pushed to become more and more resilient, but they are now asking for more solidarity!
THE CHANGE WE WANT
We envision a collective journey of transformation, healing and unification. We want to dignify and recognise the fundamental role and power of local changemakers. We are planting the seeds for new realities where grassroots activism is nurtured, resourced and thriving!
HOW THIS CAMPAIGN STARTED
The Grassroots Solidarity Revolution sprang from hours of meaningful connections and conversations by a group of five grassroots activists known as the Grassroots Changemakers and the global alliance of civil society organisations and activists, CIVICUS.
