The Southern Movement Infrastructure Exchange aims to build a space for strategizing, skill-sharing, and relationship building that allows our movements to thrive. Through political education series, gatherings, collaborative experiments, and capacity building/technical assistance, we hope to build a big bench of movement actors (i.e. across philanthropic, intermediary, and grassroots organizations) who can lead with political clarity about our relationship to money and funding. In this session, we will cover both the technical aspects of “money moving machinery” as well as the values, politics, and frameworks informing movement-led resource mobilization, especially as it relates to the kind of capacity building and technical assistance made available to movement organizations. Join us to hear from southern leaders and organizers leveraging resources in ways that preserve the integrity of southern movement work in order to transform and build power.
