Cultural organizing celebrates and cultivates power in our liberative traditions and practices, while pursuing change and transformation at the level of collective and even subconscious beliefs, symbols and stories. These beliefs, symbols and stories are the foundation upon which systems are built and sustained. It is a critical component of any long-term strategy for lasting systemic and policy change. It can also function in spaces and communities of self-determination and mutuality and be a subversive practice of freedom making. To be effective as a cultural organizer, one must recognize the dominant stories and relationships we live and practice and build the capacity to imagine and practice something different.
