CATALYZING CHANGE. TOGETHER.
WE
Movement Catalyst is a support hub that adds capacity and creativity to social movements to catalyze change. Social movements face a critical window of opportunity to create transformational change; with extra support, you could turn this moment into a tipping point.
That’s where we come in.
We’re an experienced and interdisciplinary team of strategists, organizers, campaigners, and researchers, who launch strategic projects to meet the moment, partner with organizations looking to expand their ability to have an impact, and anchor movement infrastructure.
Now is the time to hold all institutions of power accountable, and we want to help you do it.
LET’S GROW OUR MOVEMENTS.
WHAT WE DO
Strategy & Campaign Development
We have decades of experience facilitating critical conversations, setting up decision making processes, and supporting partners in strategy development in a range of social movement spaces. Drawing from our deep experience, we support a collaborative and effective approach to planning and decision making.
Creative Protests & Events
We know organizing logistics for actions inside and out, but what really sets us apart is our ability to help partners think strategically and creatively about actions that move campaign goals, build capacity, and maximize impact. We have decades of experience organizing actions in D.C. and around the country ranging from mass events bringing together thousands of people to smaller creative direct actions that disrupt business as usual.
Campaign Management
Plans are one thing, execution is often another - we have all been there. Movement Catalyst can work with you to keep your project on track and make sure it is not buried in the countless tactical pressures we all face and that it is nimble enough to take advantage of opportunities that arise.
Trainings
We have facilitated countless trainings for large, national organizations and grassroots coalitions. We offer everything from Know Your Rights and action preparation training to strategic campaign planning and creative activism.
Research
The Movement Catalyst network also has decades of experience analyzing corporations and politicians. We have the skills to dig deep and provide you with crucial information you need to accurately assess your campaign targets and most strategically leverage your network’s power.
WHO WE ARE
Movement Catalyst helps build and execute campaigns to fight for transformational change. We bring a cross movement lens to any room we’re in and are always looking for opportunities to align movements and build solidarity. Our role is to add capacity and creativity to your organization’s vision for a campaign, strategy, or protest, and we have the network of expert strategists and doers to make that happen.
