The Gathering’s Mission

The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.

These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources.

Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
