Our Work

Movement Politics

Embracing the urgency of our times, Movement Politics stands as a beacon of change amidst rising inequality, climate crisis, and democratic erosion. Recognizing the failures of traditional politics to address these pressing issues, we refuse to adhere to business-as-usual approaches that cater to the interests of the elite.

In stark contrast to conventional campaigns fueled by big donors and corporate agendas, Movement Politics champions a grassroots ethos. Our campaigns are not dictated by the whims of wealthy backers, but by the voices of the people we serve. Instead of pouring resources into television ads, we prioritize genuine engagement, fostering meaningful conversations with communities across the spectrum.

At the heart of our movement are individuals often sidelined by mainstream politics: people of color, women, immigrants, and the working-class. Their diversity is our strength, and their contributions sustain us. With their support, we advocate for a bold agenda centered on racial and economic justice, challenging systemic barriers and advocating for lasting change.

We reject the notion that elections are mere endpoints, viewing them instead as milestones in a larger narrative of empowerment and mobilization. Every voter, every conversation propels our movement forward, inching us closer to a future where people and the planet come first.

In our vision, tinkering with the status quo is not enough. We demand transformative action that uproots structural sexism, dismantles white supremacy, and reimagines political and economic systems to prioritize the well-being of all. Together, we forge a path toward a future defined not by expedience, but by shared values and collective prosperity for generations to come. Join us in building a world where justice, equity, and sustainability are not aspirations, but realities.

Relational organizing is defined as “preparing & supporting people to bring the power within their existing relationships to affect change.” In actuality it is turning a contact into a conversation and then into a person empowered to create change where they live.
