Building Movement Mindsets: Tools and Frameworks for Transforming Communities, States, and Countries

About

As our social and political environment has become more volatile over the last few years, organizations are increasingly seeking opportunities to work in more networked ways and contribute to movement and power building efforts. They often grapple with questions such as:

1. What does the movement need?
2. How does the movement build power systemically?
3. What is our organization’s role in the broader movement?
4. Where and how can we have the greatest impact?
5. Who do we need to partner with and how?

This SSIR Live! webinar is designed for nonprofits and foundations tackling root causes and seeking change in a community, state, or across a country. Participants will learn how to use a tool for mapping movement capacities and reflect on organizational strategy. Participants will also explore the “changing states” framework – a complex tool being used in over twenty states by advocates and funders to assess and determine investments and strategies for building power. Together, these tools and frameworks are a guide for how people and organizations can work together better to influence decision-making, worldviews, and narratives.
