Collectivity Now
CollectivityNow is a project to help newly emerging movements and networks become more collectively integrated, and to nurture the ability for people to create plans and act together.
As CollectivityNow moves forward, we envision helping those emerging movements to hold these kinds of virtual convenings in different regions around the country. And then bringing different networks together from around the country in this format – so that there becomes a united movement that functions from a grassroots base. Ultimately, we would like to use this method to unite actions between countries at a grassroots level.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
