Relational, power-building organizing is essential to building a multiracial pluralistic democracy that can address the rise of authoritarianism and the intertwined crises that fuel it.
The Organizing Revival is our call to renew these practices to defeat authoritarianism and address interrelated crises.

Why A Revival?
A simple truth – that ordinary people, organized effectively, have the power to drive social change upwards to create the conditions for justice, equity, and freedom – has been the power behind every
great expansion of our democracy, from Abolition and Women’s Suffrage to Civil Rights and Marriage Equality.
Yet the perils of our current moment are complex. How can we strengthen and defend our democracy, when some feel it fails them, and others want to eliminate democracy to advance an authoritarian agenda?
Our answer is the Organizing Revival. If we want to achieve a mutiracial, pluralistic democracy and move towards an inclusive economy, we must ground ourselves in the most effective practices of relational, power-based community organizing.
The Organizing Revival is our call to renew these practices to defeat authoritarianism.
