I-Center California

The i-Center is a new entity that will deepen and expand the capacity, impact, and sustainability of California’s grassroots movements for racial justice and social transformation. The i-Center will support changemakers and organizations to catalyze innovations in movement strategy and power building, intergenerational leadership development, and our collective long-term sustainability and resiliency. Through a network of physical and virtual “centers,” the i-Center will also contribute a key piece of social movement infrastructure needed to fuel transformative structural change across California. This network will consist of new and existing centers serving hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of grassroots leaders in California. We aspire to raise the necessary resources to fuel the mission, vision, and programs of the i-Center.

The i-Center is focusing on three core strategies to deepen the power, coordination, and impact of the sector. In all three areas, we will create program and infrastructure supports that are additive and synergistic with existing movement efforts rather than duplicative. 

• Movement Strategy and Innovation
• Intergenerational Leadership Development
• Healing Justice and Sustainable Work Culture
