How do the powerless get power?

They organize, that’s how.

Great organizing is patient, persistent, passionate, and strategic.

This is probably the hardest time for progressives to organize in many decades. Why? Well, we are more stressed, poorer, more isolated, more skeptical in the efficacy of government, and we are being pulled in multiple unhelpful directions by national organizations like the Democratic Party, the ACLU, the National Council of Nonprofits, and others too numerous to name or shame.

[For my free subscribers – this post on More Power introduces one of the most successful and strategic power-builders I know of – Plus – I unveil a new feature of this beat – “Power Tools” where I profile a great and easy to use tool for building civic power. Please consider becoming a paid supporter to get all the good stuff 😊!]
