Hi John,
Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to grow your organizing program! Just like tending to your garden, organizing is hard work, but if you put in the time and nurture the grassroots (wow, this metaphor goes deep!), it can bloom into something extraordinary.
There aren’t any shortcuts in organizing, but there are tools that can help. Action Builder is an easy to use, mobile-first organizing tool built by organizers, for organizers in close collaboration with the AFL-CIO and affiliates. The toolset draws on the time-tested tools organizers have used for decades, from wall charts and flip charts to notebooks and three ring binders, to produce a tool designed for organizers on the go, giving them needed information at their fingertips to grow power and win real change. Organizations from Advocates for Minor Leaguers to the Amazon Labor Union have used Action Builder to keep track of one-on-one conversations, make assessments of workers’ support, assign follow up tasks, and more.
We want to make sure that everyone in our movement can access these tools to build strong, resilient, leader-led organizing programs. Our Action Builder partnership packages are designed to help you and your team do just that. We’ve set up these packages to fit teams of any size, from just a handful of organizers to dozens.

Have a question about Action Builder, these new partnerships packages, or anything else I can help with? Feel free to respond to this email, and I’ll get right back to you!
In Solidarity,
Marvin Steele
Director of Partnerships
