Dear

After many years of teaching on Movement Ecology we here at Ayni are pleased to announce the release of a video that shares the fundamentals of the framework. We hope this video can serve many of you that have joined us throughout the years as an easy way to explain the concept with others.

We invite you to watch, reflect, and share this with your community. Now more than ever, we need spaces to learn, discuss, and take action together.

For those new to Movement Ecology, we are living in a time of intensified repression and rapid change—tariffs that deepen economic hardship, deportation raids tearing families apart, the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the end of crucial protections, and more.

In response, people across society are mobilizing—lawyers and the ACLU defending birthright citizenship, thousands protesting mass deportations in Southern California, anti-Trump inauguration demonstrations around the world. In moments like these, people turn to different strategies to resist, defend, and challenge power. And while some are open, some insist their approach is the only way forward.

This is why we created Movement Ecology—a framework to help us understand the many responses and foundational theories of change that shape our movements. Social movements are made up of diverse strategies, and each approach plays a role in the larger fight for justice, yet too often, movements become fragmented when different groups believe their way is the only way.

Movement Ecology helps us see the bigger picture: how different strategies can work together, how movements throughout history have succeeded through a balance (and sequencing) of approaches, and how we can be more intentional in our organizing today.

No one should build a strategy without first watching this video. We hope that you can share this with others. ([link removed] )
