The Movement Strategy Center (MSC) Action Fund is a social welfare ecosystem that advocates for racial, economic, environmental, and social justice in all sectors of society.
Who We Are
MSCAF was born out of a recognition that to achieve a Just Transition, we need to employ all tools in our toolbox. This includes express advocacy, lobbying for the policies that will improve our lives, and supporting people that share our experiences to run and win elected office. Some may call this an “inside-outside strategy”, we call it a whole world strategy. We built out this new formation to increase the capacity and impact of our partners’ efforts, because we know that change happens, and ultimately the Just Transition will occur, when the right people are equipped with the right tools and support.
Our Mission
The Movement Strategy Center (MSC) Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization that advocates for racial, economic, environmental, and social justice in all sectors of society. We are unique in that we do not operate as a singular organization but a collective ecosystem that fosters collaboration, reallocates resources, builds capacity, and provides infrastructure to increase the impact of our partners’ advocacy efforts.
