Our community needs a wide range of perspectives and experiences to successfully create change in our world. Web of Change offers an opportunity to model the change we want to see and to subvert pervasive dynamics that inhibit informed, thoughtful, and inclusive decisions in our campaigns and other work.
Over time, Web of Change as a community has increasingly prioritized equity amongst our participants, and strives to be an intentionally multi-racial and multi-national organization.
We're a community that strives to have open dialogue about mistakes we make and continually commit to being more inclusive and open. This statement of goals is a step toward the Web of Change community we seek to create.
