Act
As we prepare ourselves, our organizations, and our communities to meet conditions outside our control, we also orient to the just and joyful future we are building.
Even though we may not know when the upsurges are coming, we know they are coming.

How Do We Act?
Our work bridges immediate needs and long-term vision, helping movements remain adaptable while advancing toward a robust and reparative democracy.
Future Currents and our partners learn from, develop and test innovative strategies to counter urgent threats. We've explored different models of cross-organizational relationship, facilitating diverse voices, expertise, and strategic dispositions to move toward action plans; piloted educational curricula to strengthen democratic commitments; and supported organizers in rural communities facing a live authoritarian threat.
We also work with movement leaders and disrupters to analyze direct action not just as a strategic tool but as a portal into not-yet-known strategies, examining what makes dissent effective in building power and how to better respond to movement upsurges.
