Fighting a dictatorship requires a dynamic and innovative approach, which fully utilizes modern technology and embraces new methods of organization.

Fighting dictatorship successfully also requires the active cooperation of all pro-democracy forces, working within a flexible overall framework and organized around the goal of a strong, free and democratic Syria.   

That is why the Movement for Justice and Development is moving away from traditional party structures, to a flat-structured, de-centralized model. Leadership is earned by example, there are fewer organizational tiers, and decision-effecting ideas flow bottom-to-top.

Our Movement not only embraces this new way of working with rhetoric; it is implementing it on the ground with results that have surprised many.

As part of this new drive, we try to keep our Movement as stream-lined as possible, freeing up more activists to be on the ground campaigning.


Our main bodies are:

Executive Board
