Re: The CornerHouse (Re: Asskouri)

Who we are, what we do and why we do it Since its founding in 1997, The Corner House has aimed to support democratic and community movements for environmental and social justice. It is motivated by the concerns of such movements, whether they be locally-based struggles for land or water rights or better health care; campaigns against destructive mining, dam or forestry projects; or struggles against racial discrimination. We aim to pay constant attention to issues of social, economic and political power and practical strategy. We try to take a "bottom-up" approach, filled with examples, to issues of global significance which are often handled in a more abstract way. As part of our solidarity work, The Corner House carries out analyses, research and advocacy with the aim of linking issues, of stimulating informed discussion and strategic thought on critical environmental and social concerns, and of encouraging broad alliances to tackle them.
The Corner House is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee under UK law. Its current members are Nicholas Hildyard, Larry Lohmann and Sarah Sexton. Its directors are Nicholas Hildyard, Sarah Sexton, Joji Carino of Tebtebba Foundation and Mohamed Suliman of the Institute For African Alternatives. The Corner House relies on public contributions and grant funding; current supporters include the C.S Mott Foundation, Wallace Global Fund and Novib.
