Movement Innovation Collaborative (MIC)

HOW WE GOT HERE
Movement Innovation Collaborative is the strategic thinking, planning, and work of over 500 community members and organizers, transforming an idea into a living entity to create the change our communities need and deserve. This work is seeded by The California Endowment’s historic Social Bond, offering us a generous foundation to bring our collective vision to life.

In the midst of a pandemic, nearly 40 multi-racial and intergenerational leaders came together in 2021 from a wide range of organizations, issues, and regions in California to form a Design Committee that developed our vision, purpose and structure through seven months of rigorous feedback and input from the community. In 2022, we created a more detailed action plan to launch this concept of cross-sector, cross-racial networks of power building centers, now known as the Movement Innovation Collaborative.
