Research Action Design, LLC

RAD is a worker-owned team of radical creatives who help build the power, leadership and capacity of grassroots social movements in the struggle for justice and liberation.

RAD partners with small and large groups across the globe to co-design tools, develop technology, and conduct essential research grounded in the needs and leadership of communities. We collaborate across a broad range of intersecting issues including:

• health justice
• low-wage worker rights
• immigrant rights
• racial justice
• spatial and housing justice
• environmental justice
• LGBTQ rights
• the struggle against criminalization and mass incarceration

We are a heart-centered coop of life-long learners that came together in 2013 to use our expertise to facilitate community-led change. We come from the fields of public health, public policy, social work, cultural geography, cartography, data analysis, media, and software development. Together, we have decades of experience working across a range of social and economic issues to support social movements with an explicit intersectional analysis.
