Movement Building
Building the Bigger WE
GGJ is committed to engaging in grassroots movement building to strengthen collective alignment and power. While we remain rooted in the critical organizing happening at the local level, we also see a clear need for coherence and unity among left forces at the national and international scales.
We believe:
- That movement building is grounded in the development of grassroots organizations and leadership development to achieve local, national, and global justice.
- In building relationships of solidarity between and among organizations in the United States and across the world. We have much to learn from and share with our international allies.
- That as a U.S.-based organizations, we must be committed to building a strong enough movement to prevent the U.S. government and U.S. corporations from suppressing popular movements and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
- In creating opportunities for convergence that facilitate resource sharing, popular and political education, skill sharing and dialogue between organizations.
- In joint action, that acting together in the U.S. and globally we have more power to create social change.
- By working together, another world is possible — a world based on the principles of international solidarity, justice, peace, dignity, equality, human rights, sustainability and democracy!
Grassroots Internationalism
Our committment to grassroots internationalism means recognizing the root causes of social injustices globally.
Our approach is to develop the capacity for U.S.-based grassroots organizations to engage strategically with movements abroad by bringing leaders together to form working relationships, a reciprocal solidarity model, and framework for joint struggle toward collective strategy and alignment.
This helps US. movements learn about how popular movements abroad are defining and implementing new visions, and infuses their local and regional work with an international analysis.
In turn, GGJ brings representatives from working class, Indigenous, and communities of color on the frontlines of the climate, gender, and economic crises from the U.S. into international movement spaces to share lessons from our work with global movements.
