2025 WildSeed Society's Brown Bag Series

WHO: This online event series is primarily for funders who want to hear directly from movements about the infrastructure investments and changes in philanthropic culture and praxis needed to fight authoritarianism and build democracy in this moment. 

WHAT: This Brown Bag series will explore lessons learned from the last years of Trump Administration and how those lessons can inform our strategy moving forward. Further it will offer an outline of possible strategy for building new movement infrastructure that can support movements in this morning. It will feature organizations holding down aspects of the strategy that funders can consider funding. 

The pillars of the strategy include:

• Building Liberatory Movement Culture and Telling A New Story of Revolution - February 25th
• Resourcing Organization As A Vocation - March 25th
• Resourcing Movement Defense - April 29th
• Resourcing Recovery, Not Just The Fight - July 29th
• Resource Regenerative Movement Economies - October 28th

WILDSEED SOCIETY

The WildSeed Society is a political, spiritual and economic community that is inviting people to build a 21st century Underground Railroad together. We are building a series of refuges from the current exploitative world to new worlds where we all get to belong and be cared for - by focusing on Spiritual Liberation, Social Transformation and Economic Revolution. We seek to experiment and prototype our way into a new way of life - in community and in right relationship with the land.
