ABOUT THIRDSPACE Action Lab

ThirdSpace Action Lab was created to disrupt the vicious cycle of disinvestment and displacement that exploit low-income communities of color. 

We are a grassroots research, strategy, and design cooperative dedicated to prototyping creative place-based solutions to actualize racial equity. 

We are institutional and community organizers turning evidence-based strategies into action and co-creating liberated “third spaces” for people of color.
