Founded in 2021, Woori Juntos empowers impacted Asian and im/migrant communities across Texas through culturally competent services, education, organizing, and advocacy.

We envision a Texas where the most impacted Asians and im/migrants thrive in community and reclaim their power.

Founded in 2001, MSC is a social and environmental justice incubator, serving as a movement hub for visionaries and emergent networks. Today, MSC provides intermediary functions to advance ecosystem-wide impact by resourcing a robust and maturing ecosystem of leaders, networks and projects, and offering infrastructure support through fiscal sponsorship and philanthropic services.

Our mission is to provide values-aligned, holistic intermediary services enabling access to crucial infrastructure and thought partnership for BIPOC, women and LGBTQIA+ movement leaders, activists and communities challenging intersectional issues of systemic racism, rampant environmental destruction and crippling economic exploitation. MSC is unique in that it does not operate as a singular organization but as a collective ecosystem incubating and accelerating the work of partner projects, which speaks to our values of radical interdependence and love.

MSC’s vision is of a Just Transition from a world of domination, extraction, and violence — where the few live at the expense of the many — to a world of interdependence, liberation, and resilience — where the many govern for the benefit of all. This Just Transition is only possible when the voices of BIPOC, women and LGBTQIA+ leaders are honored, celebrated and amplified, not merely tolerated.

MSC understands that transformative movements change both our systems and the way we think, the way we live, and even who we are. We recognize that we are whole people and whole communities, and because the problems we face are interconnected, our solutions and movements must be interconnected. The way MSC achieves its goals and with whom are just as important as the outcomes.
