Grow Your Leadership

CAAL Leaders MOVEE (Making Our Voices Effective for Equity) is a leadership program created to support, develop, and sustain Asian Minnesotan social justice movement leaders. MOVEE offers a summer intensive retreat(s), followed by practice, and continuing alumni activities.

Over two retreats MOVEE leaders will:

1. Reflect deeply on the “For what?” of their leadership using a social justice movement framework,
2. Develop skills and knowledge to be more effective social justice movement builders, and
3. Work on sustaining one’s leadership for the social justice movement fight for justice, equity, and prosperity.

This program is made available by the generous support of our funders, so there is currently no cost to the selected participants.

“MOVEE is a reflective, nurturing space where everyone has the opportunity to learn something new from the guides, and especially from other cohort members. What I appreciate about MOVEE is that it weaves our API identify throughout the different frameworks and aligns it to solidarity efforts. This helps me think about how I want to grow and sustain my social justice movement efforts.”
