NEW TOOLS IN THE BOX
With excitement, our resources for your movement continue to grow! We've just published two new tools this month: the Ladder of Engagement and Create Many Points of Entry.
These tools are designed to help you build your organizing muscle through intentional efforts in increased engagement in actions that create meaningful change.
We are always looking for real-world examples of how our tools have supported grassroots activists and organizations. If these tools are inspiring to your campaign, please let us know!
BEAUTIFUL TROUBLE STRATEGY DECK
Revolution is a year-round endeavor!
Maybe you are gearing up for even hotter weather in the northern hemisphere, or ready to welcome cooler weather in the southern hemisphere.
Either way—our strategy card deck is perfect to prepare as protests heat up or to plan at community-building gatherings as the temperature [hopefully] cools down.
