For a small organization, we have large ambitions fueled by the fierce and unrelenting commitment of our partners, who take on the even bigger forces of oppressive governments and greedy corporations.

I look forward to working beside Thousand Currents, its brave partners around the world, and others who are also committed to truth, beauty, and connection as antidotes to fearmongering, greed, and alienation.

I like that Thousand Currents views grassroots groups as having all the expertise that they need, and all they need is funding. … [The organization] develops really close and personal connections with their partners.
