Building Resilient Organizations The Forge Maurice Mitchell by Maurice Mitchell instant download after payment.

Executives
in professional social justice institutions, grassroots activists in
local movements, and fiery young radicals on protest lines are all
advancing urgent concerns about the internal workings of progressive
spaces. The themes arising are surprisingly consistent. Many claim that
our spaces are “toxic” or “problematic,” often sharing compelling and
troubling personal anecdotes as evidence of this. People in leadership
are finding their roles untenable, claiming it is “impossible” to
execute campaigns or saying they are in organizations that are “stuck.”

In
this paper, I have laid out a diagnosis of our current predicament and
sketched out some ways forward. Building the movement of our dreams can
at times feel like a utopian fantasy. Our myriad problems and conflicts
can make that project feel like an impossible puzzle to piece together.
This framework and my recommendations are designed so that our freedom
dream can begin to translate into a practical and urgent charge of our
day.
