The Barnraisers Project

We founded The Barnraisers Project because it’s well past time that we heeded that call and moved past the twin traps of polite silence and social media rock fights. Our model equips average folks (people who’ve never thought of themselves as organizers) with the tools to move their social networks from denial and defensiveness to action. We know it works because we’ve tested it in a wide variety of places– urban and rural; wealthy and poor; left, right and center. In every context, we’ve helped transform the policies that white people support, where they send their kids to school, how and where they work and who they welcome as neighbors.
