Building Movement BC
The Building Movement Project works to strengthen the role of US nonprofit organizations as sites of democratic practice and to advance ways nonprofits can significantly contribute to building movement for progressive social change. http://www.buildingmovement.org
Building Movement BC incorporates the methods and learning of this work to engage local organizations as they move through a curriculum designed to deepen their learning around progressive social change in Battle Creek.
