Center for Story-based Strategy
The Center for Story-based Strategy (CSS) is a national movement-building organization that uses narrative as a tool for change. Rooted in the belief that stories frame what is politically possible, CSS supports grassroots organizers and frontline communities to identify, disrupt, and replace dominant cultural narratives with ones that reflect justice, dignity, and collective power.
