About us
The Building Movement Project develops research, tools, training materials and opportunities for partnership that bolster nonprofit organizations’ ability to support the voice and power of the people they serve. For over a decade, BMP has been advancing the potential for nonprofit organizations to have an impact in building movements for progressive social change. We help organizations to align their social justice principles with their operating practices. Our practical resources and creative solutions help organizations innovate to meet the needs of the communities they serve and face the challenges of the external environment. We bring people together, sharing best practices and building bridges that lead to policies and approaches that support equity, fairness and sustainability. We offer a space for organizations and their allies to rethink how to engage their constituents and create more impact with their work. We provide alternatives to the current assumptions and expectations of how nonprofit organizations should be run, and envision a future in which nonprofits are doing their best work, for better communities.

From Honoring to Healing, from Preparation to Release, these days remind us that recovery is not a moment—it’s a movement.

Authoritarian threats are escalating across legal, cultural, economic, and social arenas. Many organizations and movements are asking vital questions: ✨ When do we speak out publicly? ✨ How do we express solidarity while also preserving organizational and community safety? ✨ What conditions could support us in taking bolder stances rooted in transformative solidarity? To meet this moment, we’re sharing Solidarity Stances — a resource for organizations and networks navigating authoritarian conditions.Rather than defaulting to defensiveness or isolation, the seven stances invite us to move with intention and connection to: 🔹 Protect one another 🔹 Disrupt authoritarian narratives and systems 🔹 Strengthen movement infrastructure 🔹 Deepen our collective capacity to come together 🔗 This framework offers practical pathways for action, helping organizations discern which stances to take in times of chaos and crisis, while honoring their unique contexts, constraints, and possibilities: https://lnkd.in/e9HwbwQD 💬 Join Adaku Utah and Deepa Iyer from the Building Movement Project on September 9, 2pm EST for this LinkedIn Live, where we’ll explore how movements can use these stances to build deeper, more aligned forms of solidarity — even under authoritarian conditions.
