We hope you are enjoying the waning days of summer and finding whatever joy, connection and beauty you can amidst the challenges and struggles.
One of our biggest takeaways from the Strategy & Solidarity 2025 Global Summit was the feeling of being one small drop in a powerful wave. We witnessed our community spanning continents and generations – a tsunami of spirits fighting for a thriving future for all people in which we are living in mutually beneficial relationship with all of life.
It was an amazing week of vibrant community, radical dreaming and generous sharing of practical, applicable skills and tools. And like many, our attention has returned to the mundanity of living under totalitarianism.
Human rights, civil rights and humanity continue to be assaulted across the globe, and it is challenging not to give in to hopelessness and despair.
But we can bring our dreams into reality with faith, discipline, and repetition. We are in the process of creating a new world together, and while we still have a long way to go, how we practice is how we will perform.
To that end, after a bit of rest and recovery in July, Strategy & Solidarity Collective is back with a full calendar of events throughout August to help us prepare for the challenges ahead, while choosing joy.
We believe that challenge, resilience, and joy is the fuel that empowers us to create the thriving future we are all dreaming of.
