Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP)
Public policy and planning systems are often confusing by design and can feel intentionally exclusionary to the people they affect most. CUP changes that by making these systems transparent, understandable, and actionable. Their work allows individuals and communities to advocate for themselves with clarity and confidence, breaking down power structures and reimagining civic participation as something accessible to all. Whether it’s zoning laws, tenants’ rights, or immigration proceedings, CUP’s creative tools demystify systems and help communities fight for justice and equity.
Narrative 4
In an era of disconnection and division, Narrative 4 provides a relational practice that builds empathy at scale. Their work helps shift culture by making it easier—and safer—for people to understand one another across race, class, ideology, and geography. It's more than storytelling. It's structural empathy.
