Coalitions
Powerful coalitions are required to transform societies. If we are to shift power, money, and minds, we must continue to invest in and expand existing and strategic coalitions and build and fund new coalitions powerful enough to challenge and change the status quo. Only by working together can we transform the global order.
WEDO Co-led Global Advocacy Collectives
We convene, or co-convene, coalitions of aligned organizations, feminist leaders, and government representatives from around the world to advocate for policies that address different elements of the gender and environmental justice ecosystem.
WEDO Co-Led Action Collectives
A care-centered world includes care for all. And it requires that we create change in every level of society — a gender-just climate transition, a gender-just energy transition, and a gender-just economy. We co-lead collectives to bring everyone with us into a just, equitable, healthy, and sustainable future.
Additional Global Advocacy Collectives
In order to create the just, healthy, and equitable world we envision, we help facilitate collaboration among the people and organizations solving problems at global, national, and local levels.
Strategic Alliances
We are an accessible, reliable, and trustworthy partner with social impact organizations, governments, intergovernmental organizations, and movement leaders, and serve as a source of reliable information for allies, partners, and governments.
Other Ways to Get Involved
