Strategy Resources for Movement-Building
GPP brings political and social movement theory into practice by mining the best ideas from social and political sciences, as well as from history, applying these ideas to actual organizing –– base-building, coalition-building, campaign and electoral work. We evaluate and reflect on the ways groups apply our frameworks, which leads to further refinement, new ideas and new applications. We incorporate our framework about power, worldview and strategy into all of our workshops and trainings with groups, and in our written materials, papers and curriculum designs. GPP stays connected to groups over a long period of time, so that the implementation, evaluation and reflection phases are built-in to all of our programs on worldview and strategy development.

GPP’s work usually falls into one or more of the following areas:

1. Strategy Development and planning with local and statewide groups, national networks and labor/community groups;
2. Infrastructure development work with state, regional and national networks;
3. Worldview work that integrates and links all organizing as well as issue campaigns, civic engagement and programs. Our worldview work aims to develop more critically conscious members and leaders while building support for a progressive agenda.
4. Electoral engagement that moves from short-term and episodic to year-round and integrated civic engagement.
5. Collaboration with other ‘intermediary’ organizations and institutes that provide intellectual, policy and advocacy resources to social movement groups.
