About Vision Change Win

Vision Change Win is a Black-led team of mostly queer and trans people of color dedicated to supporting organizations in fully manifesting their missions, visions, and values. Vision Change Win exists to support progressive grassroots and organizing groups to build the tools needed to create a more liberatory society. VCW delivers practical support to social justice organizations in the areas of organizational sustainability and resilience, political strategy, conflict transformation, transformative strategy, and community safety. In this current political climate, the organization operates as both a strategic partner to social justice movements and leaders as well as a movement laboratory creating innovative programming to meet the needs of Left groups and to fight fascism.

In addition to this, we are a strategic partner to abolitionist organizations actively working to defund the police on concrete campaign strategies and viable alternative institutions to provide safety.
