With funding from Unbound Philanthropy, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and This Day Foundation we brought together 14 community organisers and 5 funders to learn from our friends and colleagues in the US.
We co-organised the trip with Marzena Zukowska, the incredible co-founder of Polish Migrants Organise for Change (POMOC). Marzena is an experienced community organiser with deep roots in the US. They also play a key role with the Radical Communicators Network.
The aim of the trip was to spark ideas around boosting community organising infrastructure in the UK. We hoped organisers and funders would come together to deepen relationships and grow collective ambition around strengthening our own organising field.
