¿Cómo pasamos de la crisis al sistema que realmente merecemos? Esa es la pregunta que impulsa los Next System Teach-Ins, y la invitación a organizar uno en tu comunidad en abril de 2027.

Para apoyar ese trabajo, lanzamos una Serie de Talleres para Organizadoras y Organizadores. El primero será el 24 de abril de 2026: "Lecciones desde el Teerritorio", con reflexiones de organizadores que marcaron la ola de 2025. Herramientas, estrategia y conexión para construir un movimiento de alcance local y vínculo global.

Nota: El taller se impartirá en inglés, pero contará con traducción simultánea.

On Tuesday, March 24, April Doner kicks off the 2026 Next System Speaker Series. Drawing on her work in asset-based community organizing, her lifelong practice as a community artist, and direct resistance alongside neighbors in Chicago’s Little Village, she will explore both the urgent challenges and the transformative potential of this moment. Her talk will focus on how community, imagination, and the relational work of “weaving”—across neighborhoods, movements, and sectors—can support deep social and cultural change. The event will be held online; registration is required.

Un sincero agradecimiento a quienes pudieron acompañarnos el jueves pasado para celebrar la ola 2025 de los Talleres para el Próximo Sistema (Next System Teach-Ins). 🤩🥳✊🙌

Más de 70 personas de Argentina, Puerto Rico, México, Reino Unido, Canadá, Alemania, India, Irak y Estados Unidos nos reunimos para escuchar las historias de líderes que están cambiando sistemas en todo el hemisferio occidental. Fue realmente inspirador, y vernos a todas y todos reunidos en un mismo espacio permitió dimensionar la abundante creatividad, el liderazgo y la capacidad colectiva para construir el mundo que queremos, presente en cada rincón del planeta.

También queremos enviar un enorme agradecimiento a nuestras intérpretes, Tammy y Adriana, de https://interpreters.coop/, por su labor fundamental para que este evento fuera accesible y honrara la orientación internacionalista de los Next System Teach-Ins.
