Design for Disruption: The EJ Movement Fellowship Story

Title
Design for Disruption: The EJ Movement Fellowship Story
Description
The inspiration for the creation of an EJ leadership program came directly from the findings of a landscape assessment study conducted by the Tishman Environment and Design Center, where EJ leaders discussed the characteristics of a leadership program that could have a profound impact on the movement. The responses from EJ leaders in this study created a blueprint for what later became the EJ Movement Fellowship, now called the EJ Disrupt Design Fellowship. This program has reframed what leadership development can look like: community-powered, creative, iterative, and rooted in relationships within the EJ movement. This exhibit documents how the program was developed and how 20 frontline leaders from the first fellowship cohort shaped a new model of design practice, one that has since influenced 350+ organizations, mobilized over millions of grant dollars for community-led projects, and sparked climate organizing across the United States and beyond. Enter the world of EJ Design: curiosity, empathy, creative disruption, and interrelatedness.
