Social Movement Support Lab

The Social Movement Support Lab (SMSL) fights systemic racism and inequality by partnering with the most impacted communities and providing them with the multidisciplinary support they need to create transformative social change. We work in the parts of the U.S. where young people are routinely pushed out of school, the criminal punishment system is most devastating, and there always seems to be enough money for more police or a new jail but never enough for education, affordable housing, and mental and behavioral health services. In those communities, we provide unmatched research, organizing, policy, strategy, and communications support that meets the most critical needs of grassroots organizations engaged in cutting-edge campaigns to advance racial and social justice.
