Produced collaboratively by Mujeres Unidas y Activas and RoadMap, Shifting Power from the Inside Out offers a new framework for community-based organizations on the evolution from member-based to member-led organizational structure, culture and practice.
The report shares Mujeres Unidas y Activas’ journey towards:
-
Increasing representation of community members amongst leadership and staff.
-
Developing specific internal practices to ensure that immigrant women are encouraged to step up — and that US born women take a back seat — in organizational leadership.
-
Encouraging frank discussions about race, class and power.
-
Ending practices of white supremacy that limit the leadership of people of color.
-
Shifting towards a model of collaboration and authentic shared leadership.
