2025 Strategic Framework

Over the past several months, CEED has engaged in deep reflection and planning. The result is a new Strategic Framework that honors our history while charting a bold path forward. This framework is more than a plan—it provides the foundational structure, values, and principles we need for collective action, decision-making, and transformational change.

HERC: Our Current Reality / Our Future

Conflict to Clarity: A Guide to Effective Resolution

Conflict to Clarity: A Guide to Effective Resolution was created as a resource to help our movements navigate difficult conversations and work through conflicts in constructive and healthy ways. These tools were brilliantly co-created and illustrated by Natayla Arevalo of CEED and artist Lynda Grafito into a Zine that serves as a guide to effective resolution.
