IMPACT REPORT
2025
Developed by the Collectivity Team
Letter from the Collectivity Team
We pause to acknowledge the realities of this moment; not as a formality, but as a commitment to truth. This is not business as usual.
The current federal administration continues to dismantle long-standing institutions while expanding systems of surveillance, detention, and punishment that cause real harm in our communities.
We are living in a time of deep political division, ongoing struggles for justice, and systemic inequities that shape daily life; conditions that drove our decision to apply the Protect Resist Build Framework as a theme throughout the year.
We acknowledge that this weight is not evenly distributed. Some carry more risk, more harm, more grief, and more exhaustion: particularly immigrants, Black and Brown communities, and those already targeted by systems of control.
And yet, even amid fear, grief, and uncertainty, our community is continuing to resist tyranny, protect one another, build new solutions, and bridge divides.
Mutual aid networks have grown, movements for justice persist, voices are rising, and many refuse to be silenced. While hope may feel harder to access right now, we are reminded that it lives in community, showing up for one another, in choosing care over isolation, and in leaning into what it means to belong to each other.
Let this message serve as a reminder that we are accountable to one another, that neutrality in the face of harm is not an option, and that how we respond, with our attention, empathy, and time, matters deeply.
Sincerely,
The Collectivity Team
What Defines Collectivity?
Identity statements help an organization clearly articulate who it is, what it stands for, and how it shows up in the community. The statement creates a shared language that aligns staff, leadership, and other key players around purpose and scope, strengthening internal cohesion. Externally, identity statements provide consistency across messaging, decision-making, and partnerships, making the organization more recognizable and credible. In 2025, Collectivity solidified our identity as a team.
We Approach Organizations Like Organisms
Unique, Evolving, & Alive
Rather than applying one-size-fits-all approach, we pay attention to how an organization actually functions; what’s thriving, what’s strained, and what conditions are needed for healthy growth and sustainable change.
Collectivity’s Core Values
Our values ground us in how we work and how we show up for one another. This year, we added a fourth core value to better reflect who we are and how we practice our work in a changing world.
Below, we highlight each core value and share a brief story from the past year that brings it to life.
