Fortifying Ourselves, Our Organizations, and Our Ecosystems
Election cycles can be opportunities to deepen community engagement, sharpen narratives, and clarify organizational and movement values. As we head towards the November 2024 elections, how can we prepare ourselves as individuals and organizations to play the right roles, to respond quickly to unfolding events, and to buttress our connections and partnerships?
The 2024 Elections and Beyond: Fortifying Ourselves, Our Organizations, and Our Ecosystems toolkit from the Building Movement Project offers a series of frameworks and accompanying worksheets for individuals, organizations, and networks to:
- Clarify values and identify roles that benefit the broader ecosystem
- Gather the necessary analysis, partnerships, and tools from our movement “pantry”
- Consider reasons why organizations may want to engage in rapid response efforts
- Explore stances such as Defend, Disrupt, Demand, Document, Discuss, Design, and Deepen
- Fortify our individual and organizational well-being for the months ahead
The toolkit contains frameworks and exercises that the Building Movement Project has utilized in trainings, workshops, and election scenario planning. We hope these offerings can be useful within your organizations and networks.
