Mission

Through the use of new technologies, grassroots activists have more potential than ever to make social change. Movements.org is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping these activists to build their capacity and make a greater impact on the world. 

How do we do this? 

We Identify digital activists and developments in digital activism through our website, blog, social media presence, and outreach trips;

We Connect digital activists to each other, to technology experts, and to more traditional members of civil society.

We Support activists by ensuring that the matches we make deliver necessary resources, training and mentorship; by facilitating face-to-face meetings among members of our network and by providing a platform for these connections to ignite and evolve over time.

21st century activism produces unlikely leaders. Movements.org represents a new model of peer-to-peer training wherein these leader lends their experience in digital organizing, especially short term protests and campaigns, not just to each other but also to those whose expertise lies in long term capacity building.

We foster these connections at an annual summit and regional trips and training events, and bolster them with educational resources available on our website and through our social media presence.
