Affiliated Organizations

As a confederation of grassroots organizations, Symbiosis is built by and for its affiliated organizations. There are two ways an organization can affiliate: as a member organization and a partner organization.


Member organizations are local, place-based, grassroots institutions or institution-building movements who will constitute the decision-making body of our confederation.

Partner organizations are ideologically-aligned allies whose work does not fall into the member organization category but who nonetheless have an interest in seeing the Congress take place and a permanent confederation arise.

Note: We are no longer able to accept new organization affiliates ahead of the Congress of Municipal Movements.

Unaffiliated Individuals and Starting an Organization

Our work is not only about building relationships between existing organizations, but helping to seed new ones. If you are an individual unaffiliated with an organization in your area but are looking to start one, you’re still welcome to join us!

Check out our organizing committees to see where new individual members are congregating so far, or start one of your own after you join Symbiosis.
