Theory of the Case
THE PROBLEM
Structural inequities persist across civic, economic, health, and environmental systems — disproportionately harming Black, Latino, Indigenous, and AAPI communities. These inequities are sustained by underinvestment in leadership, cultural misrepresentation, exclusion from data, narrative and decision-making power.
WHAT IS MISSING
The infrastructure to scale and amplify community power with the same sophistication as traditional institutions: tools, funding, media strategy, narrative support and decision-making influence.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
When communities lead with voice, data, and narrative — systems change. Cultural expression is strategy. Opportunity grows when those most affected are centered, resourced, and visible.
OUR THEORY
IncludUs bridges the gap between possibility and power. By combining community-rooted programming, narrative infrastructure, and data-driven strategy, we equip movements with the tools to imagine — and implement — lasting systems change.
OUR ROLE
We are the connective tissue between grassroots and governance, between healing and policy, between the unheard and the unstoppable. Through fiscal sponsorship, storytelling, and leadership development, we don’t just scale programs — we scale belonging.
