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.

Weingart Foundation, in partnership with Change Elemental, is proud to share the Summative Learning & Impact Brief from the John W. Mack Movement Building Fellows program.

Since 2019, we’ve supported 40 extraordinary leaders across Southern California in a transformative space that challenges extractive norms and centers of care, shared power, and collective well-being.

Advancing justice requires more than funding programs—it means investing in people. This fellowship is a bold commitment to build leadership rooted in sustainability, purpose, and movement values.
