Our Network

21 powerful grassroots organizations transforming cities across our country

Our Affiliates

Our work is rooted in our network of 21 grassroots organizations pioneering innovative policy and organizing approaches in cities, counties, and states around the US.

Our affiliates weave strategic alliances and alignments amongst labor, neighborhood, housing, racial justice, faith, ethnic-based, and environmental groups. We organize communities, advocate for policy change, and shift power from corporations to the people whose labor has been exploited and voices excluded.

Together, we’re building the people power and people’s institutions to realize our collective freedom and liberation.
