Grassroots Power Project

Grassroots Power Projectbelieves structural transformation of our society is crucial. Stronger, more strategic community and labor organizing formations will help undo the damages of neoliberalism and racial capitalism.

GPP works with organizations, alliances and labor to develop new organizing practices to achieve transformational social change. Through decades of partnership with grassroots groups, we have developed a series of strategic frameworks. These tools support organizations to be more effective and ambitious. They facilitate a shift away from short-term, incremental campaigns and towards building and wielding governing power to achieve economic, racial, gender and environmental justice.

"The need to fight the Right"

Convergence Magazine. March 9, 2023.

How do our organizations navigate the dual tasks of building power to make long-term gains for our communities and working in a broad front to defeat MAGA in 2024 and beyond? Our panelists will dig into their deep and varied experience to suggest ways we can build real-world coordination among Left and progressive groups—and how we might work productively with more centrist forces who may only agree with us on one thing: the need to fight the Right.
