The Hive: The Empire is Burning: Session #3

  • Activate Labs United States (map)

Co-designing people-to-people collective action for global solidarity of peace & social justice.

The collapse of traditional aid models has exposed contradictions—many have long critiqued these systems, yet their sudden removal has left frontline communities vulnerable. The question now is: how do we create something better?

In Session #3 of The Hive, we take the next step in our collaborative design journey to build an alternative model of solidarity—one that is direct, centered on people, movement-led, and sustainable.

💡 What we’ll explore together:
🔹 What is in our hands to be in solidarity with frontline movements & peacebuilders?
🔹 How people can support movements effectively—without saviorism or gatekeeping?
🔹 What an alternative funding & resource model could look like?
🔹 How to design a scalable, grassroots-driven solidarity system?
