Movement Strategy Center
Movement Strategy Center was one of the lead organizations behind the 99% Spring in 2012.
"In 2001, veteran organizer Taj James founded the Movement Strategy Center to help transform the common challenges many of us face in the movement for racial justice. Through his dedicated work as a Bay Area organizer, Taj saw the need for local campaigns to increase their impact by forming powerful alliances that could affect state-level policy. He recognized the effectiveness of building alliances around a proactive vision, instead of a defensive reaction to right wing assaults. And like his many allies around the country, Taj wanted to build an alternative to the culture of despair and burnout that made it difficult to attract new people to the movement, and stifled the possibility of long-term change."
