Future Building translates and enacts teachings in anti-oppression and peacemaking for people and organizations everywhere. We shed light on the unjust and intersecting systems of inequality we’ve inherited in order to take action toward our collective liberation.

Towards a peaceful, equitable tomorrow.
Future Building is an inclusive, flexible, collaborative initiative that draws on the wisdom of many who have come before us. We strive to transform systems through caring, accountable relationships and the good mind in action. We warmly welcome you to join us in change-making that creates a healthier, safer, and more equitable future for all.
