About the MovingChange Collective
We are activists who engage in different movements since years. We founded this Collective, to fight for a just, peaceful and democratic world, by supporting social and climate justice movements in Switzerland.
We offer free and professional support to movements through different tools as video production, media communication, legal help and knowledge spreading.
We are financed by people like you, which support us with a monthly donation starting from 10 CHF per month. Together with hundreds of other MOVERs you make our work possible.
Theory of Change
Social movements often initiate change of social norms and behaviour and are crucial regarding how a society responds to crises – such as climate change and social injustice. Therefore, building bottom-up-movements and a strong civil society is necessary to create a just, democratic and peaceful society free from any form of discrimination.
Therefore, strong movements and groups are needed, that can build up enough social pressure to change our social and economic systems. In order to strengthen movements and groups, proffessional support structures are needed.
With the MovingChange Collective we want to strengthen movements and groups. This by exchanging and passing on knowledge and experiences between different movements and by offering services called tools that have a supportive impact.
Values
We fight for a world free of all forms of discrimination, patriarchal oppression, and market and colonial power structures. We want to work reliable, intersectional, positive and sustainable. Self-reflection of our own position, non-violent communication and regeneration in the work and development process are particularly important to us.
Social and climate justice now!
We are on a fast track to climate disaster: major cities are under water, there are heat waves and terryfiying storms. Inequalities and social injustice is our societies’ daily business.
People standing up for human rights and just solutions regarding the consequences of the climate crises getting arrested, are forced to pay large fines and suffer repression. Activists are leaving movements due to a lack of financial resources and work-overload. Meanwhile, large fossil fuel cooperations and global companies invest millions into undermining our democracy and changing public opinion with greenwashing.
To make the fight for climate and social justice successful, we founded the MovingChange Collective. A project which builds sustainable structures for activism in Switzerland. We offer free and professional support movements through different tools as video production, media communication and legal help.
