Why are some social and political movements successful and others aren’t? Social Movements is a 90-minute for civic leaders and professionals who want to up their political advocacy game in a bipartisan way. We look at the best practices across progressives, centrists, and conservative issues-oriented movements that powered political and policy victories. You can learn a lot from studying what all players do well and not so well. Each issue is different, given the many variables to consider in moving it forward. But there is a general thru-line in many successful policy advocacy efforts. We discuss that recipe.

What you walk away with
