Staying Power for the Long Haul
Windcall Institute supports and sustains labor and community organizers through our Residency and Staying Power programs.
We create the conditions for leaders to pause, reflect, and return to their work with clarity, creativity, and purpose.
When our organizations are more life-giving, imaginative, and grounded in vision, our movements can:
- Dismantle oppression more effectively
- Collaborate with greater ease
- Attract broader participation
- Focus on what we’re building, not just what we’re fighting
- Generate bold ideas and new alliances
- Win meaningful structural change
Our approach is rooted in a few core truths:
- Liberation must be practiced internally as well as externally
- Organizing is courageous, creative work and it deserves care
- Organizers carry essential, often invisible labor that sustains movements
- Long-term change requires leaders who can stay in the work over time
- Transformation begins from the inside out
- We must embody the justice we seek in how we treat ourselves and each other
What Windcall Offers
- Time and space to rest and reset
- Practices that restore balance: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual
- Opportunities to reflect, release, and reconnect to purpose
- Support to bring these practices back into organizations and movements
What Windcall Builds
- A thriving network of organizers committed to sustaining themselves and their work
- Movement culture rooted in care, vision, and collaboration
- Deeper connection to long-term systemic change
- Leaders who can stay in the work for the long haul
We build the Staying Power for ourselves, our organizations, and our movements to heal trauma and embody liberation
