Through 2025, CTWO has invested in what short-term cycles often neglect: deep organizing, leadership development, and lasting movement infrastructure.

Despite political backlash, shrinking philanthropic investment, and increasing pressure on grassroots organizations and organizers, we've remained steadfast in our mission: to organize the masses.
