Helping change-makers change

We support client-partners to transform their internal cultures and structures to build effective social change strategies. We also do work within our Dragonfly team to ensure we are living into our values. This is how we contribute to a resilient multiracial, cross-class, multi-issue social justice movement ecosystem with the power to build toward collective liberation.

Announcing Dragonfly Clinics on Equity

We are excited about Dragonfly Partners’ continuing clinic series on how to live into your organization's racial justice values in concrete and transformative ways. We've made some adjustments to the topics for two of this fall's clinics. We hope you'll be excited to learn about our changes. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. 

Here is the updated workshop schedule for the fall:

  • Stewarding a Healthy, Values-Aligned, Multiracial Board of Directors (October 1st, with Aarati Kasturirangan)

  • Flip the Script: Tap into your power to resource (fundraise for) your work (October 24th, with Allison Budschalow)

  • Preparing to Give and Receive Difficult Feedback (November 14th, with Sara Joffe and Amadee Braxton)

Good News

Our very own Rebecca Subar's book, When to Talk and When to Fight: The Strategic Choice between Dialogue and Resistance (PM Press, 2021), is a brilliant new way of talking about how we change the world. The book echoes Dragonfly's approach to changemaking.

Dragonfly collaboration with Mariame Kaba

In partnership with Mariame Kaba and Interrupting Criminalization, we developed a framework for conflict transformation in movement-building groups called In It Together. Explore the tools and resources that support the use of human-centered, non-punitive accountability practices in movement spaces.

Land Acknowledgement

We live and work in Lenapehoking, on the unceded land of the Lenape people. We acknowledge the Lenape community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. Dragonfly Partners also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose land we are located. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism.
