We believe in the power of the collective…
We are stronger together than we are divided.
KTLcollective is committed to a collaborative and inclusive approach that recognises the strength and perspective that every person and group brings to a campaign.
We know that the common good is defined collectively, and campaigns towards it are always collective and inclusive ventures.
We know that communities that have experienced injustice must be central to addressing and healing that injustice.
