NOOR is a new feminist and movement-driven think and do tank devoted to building the
power of gender justice and progressive movements to obstruct far-right agendas and
advance our transformative visions. We coordinate a transnational network, expose and
oppose the resurgent right, and facilitate strategic alignment and strategy development.
We organize to help bring systemic alternatives into reality.
