We intentionally reach out to cross-sectoral, cross-disciplinary, and geographically diverse organizations and invite them to join hands. We find what unites us and align around shared goals and a common purpose. We pool and then disperse expertise and resources to maximize our reach and impact.
Our partners range from multilateral organizations to academic institutions to private sector businesses to grassroots organizations and beyond. We are working to grow the movement. We measure our success by the number and diversity of partners and members we engage with and the collective actions we take.
