Collaborate to Co-Liberate: Structures and Practices for Democratic Organizations (C2C) is a 12 module learning journey designed for solidarity economy and social justice movement left organizations who are building organizations with democratic, participatory, and liberatory leadership structures.   

C2C  examines some of the stickiest and most challenging questions we face when striving to build organizational structures that live into our values of a more inclusive, democratic, embodied, and life-giving world. The modules all together present a journey along the iterative, dynamic, and spiraling path through organizational transformation.  

For this first time ever, we are offering discounted access to all twelve previously recorded modules as a bundle that can be reviewed at your own pace. All modules are made available immediately upon registration, and will be available for review until June 30, 2026.

How the Self-Paced Learning Journey Works

Upon registering, you will gain access to the full course content as well as our online community of practice (the Nonprofit Democracy Network), hosted on Mighty Networks, a social network platform for self-organized communities. 

The recordings, slides, and follow up resources  for all twelve modules will be instantly available to you to watch on your own timeline.  We recommend reviewing the resources in the established order, however you are welcome to orient to the modules that are most relevant to you in your current moment.

Optional: Peer Coaching Cohort

At no additional cost, you are invited to participate in an optional peer learning cohort with other individuals and organizations that are completing the self-paced course.  From March to June 2026 we will host a once monthly 90 minute peer coaching session for all participating members to bring questions and challenges and invite support and creative solutioning.  

These peer coaching cohorts have been some of the richest and most supportive aspects of our Collaborate to Co-Liberate, and we are excited to offer them to self-paced learning participants to support your learning in your organizational change journey.  We ask you to commit to all four peer coaching sessions, in order to build supportive and strong relationships within the cohort.

Optional: Implementation Labs

In addition to the optional peer coaching cohort, participants in the self-paced C2C learning journey are invited to monthly “Implementation Labs” hosted by the Nonprofit Democracy Network.  These labs are spaces to get resources, coaching and support around implementing a specific area of organizational change.
