| Abstract: With increased interest in social justice philanthropy, a new surge of foundation investments have spawned growth in movement building work. In this session, we will lay a framework for discussion based on our evaluation of the youth organizing, women's funding movement, reproductive justice movement, and human genetics and reproductive rights technology. After the initial theories and frameworks are laid out, we will invite participants to share their ideas and evaluation work to address the following questions: What do we mean by movement building? What are the components/activities of movement building? What are indicators of change we are using? How can groups on the ground track their impact and success? |
