Our Partners

Uniting Black organisations and committed individuals

We are architects of networks and collaborate with numerous Black-, BIPoC- and white ally-led organisations and individuals who share our vision and always welcome new partners to expand our network.

As we foster capacity building of Black organisations, we would love to hear from you, if you would like to collaborate or need help with your own organisation.

White ally organisations or individuals are welcome to reach out, if they have been educated about structural and institutional racism and Critical Whiteness or seek help in doing so.
