Yanar: We really wanted to set up a structure where any one could jump in and start taking action, and really give a on ramp to as many people as possible. And our three person a, the idea that any three people could start a hub was meant to you. Any three people can join sunrise and take action in the name of sunrise. A principle that's ik, we take initiative. Also, half principles acting to our structure. But they're everything from getting very clear unlike what we are doing as a movement, we're here to stop te clima crisis, fate, millions of good jobs in the process.
The relationship between structure and impact is an important one for organizations to explore. The same goes for social movements. The Sunrise Movement is a youth-led coalition on a mission to stop climate change—and recently, they placed their own OS under a microscope: How should the org make decisions? How should its principles evolve? How could it balance centralization and decentralization? Sunrise asked itself these questions to help design a structure capable of meeting our current climate moment.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans chat with Aru Shiney-Ajay and Dejah Powell from Sunrise Movement about the connection between internal and external change and how org design can help contribute to tackling the climate crisis.
