In an effort to promote collaboration and solidarity, this document lists Bay Area organizations of different sizes and political persuasions that work on global issues. These issues include: international development, human rights, the environment, country-specific struggles, humanitarian aid, peace/conflict resolution, economic and social justice, world citizenship, cultural exchange/travel, etc. Organizations are grouped into general categories, some of which overlap significantly.
