Global Issues & Inequality

In working to address global issues and inequality, we prioritize impactful cross-regional collaborations that drive systemic change in marginalized communities. We engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including civil society organizations and private-sector leaders, to confront pressing challenges such as racial and gender inequality, climate justice, and social exclusion. By leveraging our expertise in inclusive communication and knowledge-sharing, we facilitate transnational dialogues and initiatives that bridge gaps in policy, education, and resource access.

Through strategic partnerships, we amplify diverse voices—particularly those of underrepresented groups like immigrants, refugees, and BIPOC women—ensuring that solutions are culturally grounded and contextually relevant. We also create spaces and convenings that catalyze action on global inequities. Our long-term projects include research studies and mentorship programs aimed at addressing social and economic disparities.

Our commitment to intersectionality ensures that our initiatives consider overlapping factors such as race, gender, and class, fostering equitable and sustainable outcomes for all. Together, we strive to create a more just and inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Democratic Renewal

Our work on democratic renewal is centered on revitalizing democratic systems to be more inclusive, accountable, and responsive to today’s challenges. We aim to increase civic participation, strengthen institutions, protect human rights, and address issues like polarization and misinformation. By collaborating with diverse stakeholders—especially those most affected—we focus on educating the public, reforming exclusionary processes, and amplifying marginalized voices. Ultimately, our efforts seek to build a fairer, more resilient democracy for all.
