Helping change-makers change

We support client-partners to transform their internal cultures and structures to build effective social change strategies. We also do work within our Dragonfly team to ensure we are living into our values. This is how we contribute to a resilient multiracial, cross-class, multi-issue social justice movement ecosystem with the power to build toward collective liberation.

Good News

Our very own Rebecca Subar's book, When to Talk and When to Fight: The Strategic Choice between Dialogue and Resistance (PM Press, 2021), is a brilliant new way of talking about how we change the world. The book echoes Dragonfly's approach to changemaking.

Land Acknowledgement

We live and work in Lenapehoking, on the unceded land of the Lenape people. We acknowledge the Lenape community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. Dragonfly Partners also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose land we are located. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism.

(You can learn more about the practice of land acknowledgement here.)
