MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Part 1: To join the membership program, your organization must meet all the following requirements
Please check off to confirm all that apply

* Organizations that work to center directly impacted communities and people demonstrate that through their choice of focus areas for research, campaigns and advocacy; an active commitment to use their platforms to create space for impacted communities to tell their own stories in their own words; and the explicit naming and acknowledgement of the way structures, programs, policies and/or practices have disproportionate or differentiated impact depending on different intersectional identities.
Example: A thinktank such as the Center for American Progress (CAP), which is not led by and does not represent directly impacted people, meets this criteria by producing research that names and analyzes structural inequity and by creating platforms for impacted groups to share their experiences and how they relate to the larger systems and structures (for example through panel discussions or through partnering with organizations representing these communities).                                                           

** Organizations that “take an intersectional approach to social justice” may not work on every single social justice issue or center all marginalized communities, but they explicitly name/acknowledge the connections between their core issue/focus population and other structural oppressions and marginalized identities.
 Example: United We Dream is an immigrant justice group that focuses on a subset of impacted people within that movement (Dreamers) and regularly and consciously includes a discussion of the unique barriers and challenges faced by the most marginalized populations within that subset, such as LGBTQIA migrants and/or Black migrants.
Part 2: Ayni Institute Movement Ecosystem Model

Your organization must also be active in work that falls within the Ayni Institute's social movement ecology model. For additional information about the categories and definitions provided below, see Part 1 (page 13) of this report.

Please indicate which category(ies) best describe your organization’s work. If none of the categories adequately describe your organization’s work, please select “other” and then use your own words to briefly describe the strategy your organization uses to promote social change.

NCRP's VALUES STATEMENT

Values Statement for the Nonprofit Membership Program: 

NCRP commits to intersectional racial equity and strives to be accountable to impacted communities. Though we are not led by people who are directly affected/impacted by all the issues we work on, we demonstrate deference and preference to people directly affected. We know that within movement ecosystems there are sometimes disagreements about tactics and priorities and recognize that it is not NCRP’s role to adjudicate these differences. However, NCRP does strive to prioritize the perspectives, needs and goals of the most marginalized and/or impacted people and groups and we are committed to engaging them consistently in guiding our work.

Given that this is our approach, are you comfortable being a member of NCRP?
