What do we mean by “Cross-movement” collaborations and organising?

CTI refers to our model as a “cross-movement” model. This means that our work recognises that all oppression is interconnected which means all liberation work is as well. We do not work in any one movement — our work exists in the relationship between different movements working together equitably towards shared goals. Some of the movements connected to our work include those focusing on feminism, labour rights, migration, child rights, and anti-colonial systems.
