Alliance for Action is a diverse group of individuals and organizations committed to undoing systems of oppression in the independent film industry by identifying root causes of inequity, shifting our power dynamics, unlocking access to opportunities, and reallocating resources to underrepresented artists and audiences. We understand that the realities of inequity are intersectional and recognize that the roots of inequity must be addressed on multiple levels: within our collective, our own organizations, our programming, our communities/audience, our networks, and within ourselves.
