From Surviving to Thriving: An Intro to PeoplesHub Workshops for Movement Groups

Behind every victory and win of our movements for social change there has always been a group of dedicated and passionate people who’ve visioned a better future and organized and mobilized people to make it possible. There have also been moments where our groups have fallen apart, been infiltrated or just disintegrated due to many reasons that could have been prevented. In this workshop we will study closely the elements that have been essential to groups and communities thriving in their struggle for liberation as well as the elements that need to be strengthened in our current movements in order for us to stick together and transform society. This workshop introduces our Thriving Groups framework and our workshop series designed to help us embody our values in organizational practices to foster participatory democracy and shared power.
