UnSectored
UnSectored

 

UnSectored is a community of people who believe that social change is the responsibility of all individuals, organizations and sectors. We work between and beyond sectors to collectively define progress and enact change.

The UnSectored community uses the UnSectored online platform, offline events, and offline activities to identify intersections, facilitate discussions, encourage cross-sector collaboration, and promote cross-sector change efforts. While anyone anywhere can join the community, currently our offline events are only in the DC area.

The community is united around the UnSectored core values of intentionality, diversity, engagement, and disruption. The Community is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and all sectors that are committed to make a difference in the world. They balance this desire with a sense of humbleness and understanding that you must be open to all perspectives to create sustainable change.

Feeling Valued in the Nonprofit Sector

 

By: Ryan Steinbach

I believe that I am meant to work at a nonprofit or social enterprise. I’m passionate about a variety of social and environmental issues, I loved my experiences interning and volunteering for nonprofits in college, and I’m fine with giving up some income to find greater purpose in my work. I have known for a while that a revenue-generating nonprofit is the best fit for me based on my career priorities, thanks to some help from ...

"Reversing" Cross-Sector Leadership Exchanges

 

By Jeff Raderstrong

Last month, I was lucky enough to attend the White House Forum on Cross-Sector Leadership, which was co-hosted by the InterSector Project. The day was devoted to exploring the need for greater cross-sector collaboration, and how cultivating individual leaders can help bring the sectors closer together.

We spent most of the time in a design workshop...

A Vision for Big Data in the Social Sector

 

By Patrick Davis

Recently, my buddy Brian Weinberg and I had the chance to interview Matt Mahan, CEO of Causes as a part of our on-going GAMECHANGERS series (see full interview below). Causes is arguably the largest online platform for social change in the world. As I’m writing this, Causes boasts 153 million members hailing from 142 countries, who have taken over 1 billion actions collectively. These actions include starting...

The Moral Arc of the Universe is Long: Creating UnSectored Change Takes Time

 

By Kathy Chamberlain

We are all impatient about the pace of social change. Some recent UnSectored posts have referred to the idea of building movements for change, whether indirectly or directly, and these...

Today's Social Movement

 

By: Jeff Raderstrong

As a teenager, I was obsessed with the 60s. It started with the music—first classic rock like the Beatles and Rolling Stones, but I quickly moved on to the protest songs of the day—Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Crosby Still Nash and Young, Pete Seeger. From there, it was only a small jump to focus my attention to people like Martin Luther King jr. and groups like the Students for a Democratic Society and the Black Panthers.

I think I was so focused on...

A Sectored System: Public Education

 

By Mark Hecker

I’m passionate about my work. It’s rare that this passion creates anger. But, most definitely, that happened last week when I read the EdWeek blog post of Tom Vander Ark, a Venture Capitalist working in the educational space.

Never before have I seen such a clear indication that the “Ed...

Movement Building for a New Economy

By Patrick Davis

There is an enormous amount of energy among people and organizations that recognize the need for a global economic transformation. Both here in the US and across the world, wealth distribution is as disproportionate as it has ever been. (Check out this interactive Poverty Index over Time tool on UnSectored)

Our existing economic legal framework continues to...

This is Not Who We Are

By Jeff Raderstrong

I’m beginning to realize that our institutions do not reflect who we are as people. They are not aligned with what really motivates us to get up in the morning.

Mostly, our institutions are siloed in their own work, driven by single-organization goals and short-term time horizons beholden to bottom lines. No matter if they are a for-profit, a nonprofit, or a government agency, the institutions we’ve created are mostly concerned about one thing: money. This just...
