Building The World As We Want It To Be
At the heart of our work, we listen to each other in one-on-one conversations, house meetings, and listening sessions. We build relationships of trust across differences. We research the best solutions to the problems faced in our neighborhoods. We build power and act together to change our communities for the better. And we reflect and evaluate to learn from our work and plan for the future.
Turnaround Thursday Movement
Turnaround Thursday is a second chance jobs movement. Learning from Turnaround Tuesday’s success in Baltimore, this movement prepares, trains and connects returning citizens, unemployed, underemployed and residents to living wage jobs and foster leadership in the community.
Spring 2023 Listening Campaign
In the spring of 2023, we listened to 1,268 people in ACT. A team of over 100 people was trained to lead deep listening conversations in their congregations and organizations. In these conversations people shared stories about the pressures facing themselves and their families.
Action Research Teams
Our campaigns are lead by Action Research Teams – teams of diverse leaders who research to identify strategic solutions to community problems and shape actions to build power and win on the issues that matter most.
