Meaning of structural support[edit]

Hi, does anyone know what “structural support” means in the notice? I have no legal background and so I’m not sure how to interpret this term in the context. Thanks! Al12si (talk) 01:26, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Al12si, thank you for the question. Structural support is meant to refer to the providing of core functions - such as recognizing and supporting groups, providing mediation among groups, reviewing compliance, and appeals - all tasks that are required to support movement governance and build communities.
