Over the years, Empower Project coaching specialists have worked with groups in 44 states (plus Washington DC) on how to plan and implement a successful relational organizing program.  We have worked with large multi-state national committees with hundreds of staff, to small two-person teams organizing a few zip codes.  

With over 10 years of implementing relational organizing, we have learned that there is a sizable gap in organizing knowledge and the way that it is trained and implemented.  Over the years, the organizing movement has begun to focus on big data and micro-targeting at the expense of organizing, at times insisting that we only need to communicate to a narrow pool of the electorate.  This has left millions out of our organizing programs because they didn’t fit the targeted model. Relational organizing provides a way to expand the reach back out into communities, who have been left behind and are often hard to reach.
