Founded in June of 2022, the Global Grassroots Support Network (GGSN) is a community of practice that brings together projects and individuals supporting “grassroots justice-oriented”* activist groups around the world. Our objective is to improve support for grassroots activists through the sharing of knowledge around common challenges, and by providing opportunities to collaboratively exchange on solutions.
GGSN members on a group call (anonymized for digital security)Folks in the network can learn from each others’ experience, and swap materials (i.e. guides, workshops, media) they created in their own part of the world. The goal for the network is to compile our collective knowledge on good practices for supporting grassroots justice-oriented activist groups, to benefit from each others’ innovations, and together, to improve support for grassroots movements around the world.
