TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE
Mila’s 7-year journey with Desmond, the entire FRRC team and the massive coalition of allies, has given her hands-on experience on how to effectively facilitate transformative change:
Those who are directly impacted lead and center the movement
Conduct inclusive and comprehensive research on the front end
Shape the dominant narrative to shift culture by humanizing the issue
Use positive and inclusive, values-based messages to transcend polarizing politics
Change the status quo in the way resources are allocated and decisions are made
Operationalize race, class and gender equity at every level of the campaign/movement
Unleash the power of grassroots volunteers
Create space to address trauma and foster collective healing
The Wheelhouse Project, LLC, is committed to sharing this knowledge with others who endeavor to dismantle institutionalized oppression and embark in collective healing in the United States.
