The How is as Important as the Why
Many radical thinkers often speak radical theory and then engage in conventional practice sanctioned by dominator culture.

Let us help you build something different
Madeline Rider Consulting specializes in the design, development, and support of healthy organizations - rooted in a care for the human beings making up that organization and a reconnection of those people to their labor.
Our organizations require processes and systems to function. Our goal is to support you in creating holistic and reciprocal relationships between the people, the processes, and the product.
sustainable systems for radical orgs
Many individuals and organizations who regularly employ an anti-capitalist or anti-colonial lens to their work and life, bristle at the mention of “systems.” When they hear that word, it brings to mind the many oppressive systems at play in hurting our families and communities. But “systems,” in and of them selves are not inherently harmful. For thousands of years, Indigenous people have maintained beautiful and complex systems, sustaining reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationships with all living beings and this planet. It is possible for people to design organizational structures that mirror this time-tested wisdom and promote equity, functionality, effectiveness, work-life balance, and care.
Our experience has shown us that leadership is a group project and that each individual possesses different strengths and areas for growth. Often leaders with the vision and community connection, don’t always have time to file paperwork, prepare invoices, or respond to emails. Madeline Rider Consulting is happy to take over this work for you, leaving you the time and energy to keep dreaming and building.
