“Liberation is a constant dreaming.” - Prefiguring Futures Lab Alum

What becomes possible when leaders have space to dream beyond crisis, beyond survival, and beyond the limits of what we've been told is possible?

Change Elemental holds spaces, rooted in liberation and sovereignty, where Black and Indigenous leaders can gather, heal, imagine, and practice the futures we need.

Help us raise $7,000 these spaces more possible. Every gift is matched up to $2,500.

✨Reclaiming Our Wisdom, a mini-series by Elissa Sloan Perry & Alison Lin (for Ananda Valenzuela’s forthcoming curriculum), invites us back to the intelligence of our bodies, emotions, and nervous systems—not to “fix” ourselves, but to practice liberation.

Through guided reflections and embodied practices, we build the capacity to move through intensity with choice, dignity, and care for ourselves and each other. 🌿

In a moment shaped by grief, possibility, and profound change, Change Elemental’s latest piece reminds us of something essential - that we’re not just fighting for a better future, we’re practicing it right now.

The article lifts up four interconnected movement practices that feel deeply resonant:

🔥 Block - protect our communities and hard-won rights

🔥 Believe - nurture imagination and vision as daily practice

🔥 Build - deepen relationships + co-create liberatory alternatives

🔥 Be - tend to our well-being, humanity, and interconnectedness

Reminder: none of us needs to hold all of this. Our collective power grows when each of us understands our role and stays connected to imagination, healing, and strategy.

🌊Community flows like a river system, moving across boundaries, pooling care, and carrying nourishment where it's needed most.

In these times of turbulence and possibility, the Karl Mathaisen Equity and Innovation Fund helps support grassroots leaders and organizations in having what they need to defend communities, nurture imagination, and build the world we all deserve.

Join us in bolstering this flow of resources, relationships, and courageous experimentation across our movements.
