The general aim of this circle is form alliances within the climate justice movement, and to support and collaborate with other groups and coalitions in The Netherlands, in order to help build a movement of movements towards achieving social and environmental justice.

Core:

• Create and maintain contact with sister environmental movements and groups

• i.e. attend regular monthly meetings of the Dutch Climate (Justice) Coalition (hereafter/ also see: ClimateCoalition)

• Engage in relation-building with social and environmental movements whose values align with ours, and ultimately decide which movements, campaigns, actions, and petitions to (un)officially support:

• Engage in open communication and consultation with the movement;

• Take into account our demands, principles, values, and our target audience’s perception of a potential co-operation;

• Communicate clearly on any decisions made, as indicated here.

• Work with relevant (national) circles to ensure that the collaborations are acted upon, well communicated and integrated into the movement

• Creating processes that allow collaboration and sharing of resources and perspectives between Local Groups, individual rebels, and this circle, aimed at fostering relationships with other movements/groups

• Set up an overview to keep track of our relationships with other groups

• Optional: set up a guideto developing local coalitions

Facilitative:

• Ensure that circle members are familiar with our DNA, and are capable of representing the movement (i.e. received spokesperson training)

• Foster trust in the circle and its work by communicating transparently to all those affected by our decisions
