Welcome to Beyond Impact 2025, the only 501(c)(4) strategy and learning space. Beyond Impact exists to serve and strengthen the advocacy infrastructure of movement leaders passionate about igniting a revolutionary shift in the political landscape of the United States. Our mission goes beyond envisioning change; we are committed to aligning organizational practices, visions, and resources to create sustainable platforms for Black, Brown, and allies' political organizing.
This year, Beyond Impact will take place from Wednesday, September 17-Friday, September 19, 2025, in Baltimore, MD.
For generations, Black and Brown communities and allies have demonstrated unwavering resilience, holding the line and building power despite the challenges posed by political leadership at all levels. By Any Means Necessary: People, Power, and Possibilities is a space where movement leaders, organizers, and funders can come together to strengthen community bonds, strategize, and develop tangible steps for the fight ahead.
We are curating a convening that centers frontline wisdom, prioritizes real-time problem solving, and deepens the relationships that sustain movements –ensuring that our collective power is preserved and expanded. In a political moment that demands both resistance and innovation, we are gathering to ask: What has worked? What must evolve? And how do we continue to show up for our communities –by any means necessary?
