2. this year we
celebrated
numerous historic
achievements for
communities
of color.

3. 3
yet, we were also
confronted with
incredibly painful
moments.
industry&out.

4. 4
in our 9-to-5’s,
we feel helpless.
industry&out.

5. 5
we will not stand
idly by:
As people of color
As people who identify with the immigrant experience…
As people seeking change
As people demanding better
As people fighting for what’s right
As people intent on change
industry&out.

6. 6
so, we formed
industry&out.
industry&out.

7. 7
because, we are firm in our belief that following our personal convictions
outside the industry will enhance our experiences within our agency walls

8. 8
as a community
driven experiment:
We’re still figuring things out. But we do know that:
We’re grounded by horizontal leadership.
We’re driven by grassroots momentum.
industry&out.

9. 9
leading
by example:
We have cultural capital as the next generation of industry leaders.
We can use our capital and talent pool to enact change.
So far, we’ve already dedicated much of our labor and time to multiple
start-up meetings; we have organized a team of committed MAIP
fellows into disciplines according to our strengths; we’ve compiled a
list of grassroots organizations that we can support; we’re in the
process of refining our visual identity and planning our channels of
communication to make sure our contact with the public is consistent
and intentional; and finally, we’ve stood up and shown our presence at
the End Family Separation NYC Rally.
industry&out.

10. 10
a movement,
not a moment:
We are committed to ensuring that this experiment becomes an
exemplar for future generations of MAIP fellows to follow.
This experiment will go beyond the summer of 2018. Many of us will
continue working on this as our passion project.
industry&out.

11. 11
but we can’t do
it alone:
Here’s how you can get involved:
● Serve as a liaison that can help us reach our agencies better
● Promote the work we do
● Follow and get invested in our journey
● Offer your time, labor, fiscal support, network, etc…
industry&out.

12. 12
action
looks like:
● pro-bono work that we will offer to local grassroots non-profit
organizations,
● call sessions to senators and politicians
● ushering MAIPers from all over the country to get galvanized.
