Safer & More Powerful Together: Power & Relationship Mapping Your Community

Part of Congregational Responses to Growing Fascism

By Ashley Horan

The fundamental principle of organizing is that the more individuals, organizations, and movements are able to act in solidarity with one another, the more likely we are to win. Congregations are no exception – we are both able to be more publicly prophetic and keep our members and our communities safer when we are in deep relationship with multifaith and secular partners who share our values and goals. In this workshop, learn some frameworks for mapping relationships and potential partnerships in your community, as well as identifying how to identify allies, targets, and opponents as your work in coalition toward particular goals.
