We know the nonprofit world wasn’t built for true liberation - but our relationships can be. This gathering is a chance to remember that solidarity is not a theory, it’s an embodied practice of listening, sharing risk, and weaving the everyday miracles of care that keep our people alive. Through story, network mapping, and embodied practice, we’ll explore how to build networks rooted in trust, reciprocity, and shared purpose — moving beyond charity into collective power.

• A map of your real-world networks and leverage points for collaboration.
  
• Practices and tools for building authentic, trust-based partnerships.
• Courage and creativity to move from “doing good” toward doing solidarity.
• One small, powerful action to deepen your organization’s commitment to liberation.
