This activity is a good way to motivate a discussion about power and the need to develop more effective power-building strategies. Participants look at the ways in which the national political agenda has shifted to the right over the past 40 years. These shifts have occurred as a result of organized power – especially, the strategic use of infrastructure (2nd face) and ideas (3rd face) over time and in ways that impact first-face arenas – legislatures, courts, agencies, etc. The activity also reinforces a sense that agendas are not set in stone. Progressives have influenced the national agenda in the past and we can do so again. GPP uses this activity at the start of a workshop or strategy session on using the three faces of power. It is a good way of illustrating the ways in which all three faces work together.
