Reclaiming Our Power for Radical Change

What a year.

2024 is coming to a close and we’re reflecting on the year that has passed. This year tested our movements, our organization, our leaders, and our staff in so many ways. re:power was focused on providing as much powerful skills and capacity building support as possible in the first six months of the year gearing up for an important election season. We did just that but also heard from organizers across the movement that their professional development budgets had been cut, their workloads increased, and their capacity for learning and development was low. As we head into 2025, re:power will be revamping our pricing model to support all organizers where they are at!

We skilled up a total of 2,615 people this year.

Our 2024 re:power alumni are brilliant movement organizers, activists, candidates, electeds, and leaders. Over the course of this year we trained folks from Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas and so many other states and municipalities. We are so proud of the work they are doing in their communities and honored to have helped them create the change they seek.

Over the course of this year, we facilitated trainings that offered a combination of skills, strategy, and soul work. Strategy-work focused on strategy and analysis, soul-work on their values, motivations, and resilience, and skills-work on the tactics they need to carry out the work. All of our trainings incorporated components of each while some leaned more deeply into soul work and other more deeply into skills.

Over the course of this year, we offered trainings that offered a combination of head, heart, and hands work. Head-work focused on strategy and analysis, heart-work on their values, motivations, and resilience, and hands-work on the tactic and skills they need to carry out the work. All of our trainings incorporated components of each while some leaned more deeply into heart work and other more deeply into hands. 

Read some highlights about these trainings below.

Women of Color Leadership Cohort

These heart-centered 12-week cohorts brought together over 30 women of color leaders from across the country twice over the course of 2024. In each cohort, these leaders explored topics ranging from Root Cause Analysis, Organizing & Leadership as a WoC, Management & Strategy, Deconstructing white dominant practices and leadership styles, Visions of Liberation, and Visualization Practice.

Data Analytics Camp

In late February, we brought back Data Analytics Camp, our 5-day intensive training for data practitioners that focused on best practices in data, analytics, and engineering to support online and offline campaigns. We had a diverse group of 20 participants from across the country–predominantly from the south and southwest–who are working on a range of issues, from abortion access to public education to housing justice.

Campaign School for Issue Organizers

In June, re:power brought organizers from across the country together in Phoenix, AZ for the first in-person Campaign School for Issue Organizers (CSIO). The 2.5-day training covered everything from the fundamentals of campaign strategy to building volunteer programs, developing a fundraising plan, targeting voters through VAN, script-building, and more. The curriculum builds on the ethos that effective organizing is not just about securing electoral wins; it requires year-round base-building to sustain meaningful victories, and this body of work lives with the organizers who are building power around issues that affect the day-to-day lives of their communities.

Grassroots Organizing School

In 2024, Grassroots Organizing (GRO) School returned with an in-person launch in Atlanta and our first in-person closing in Denver. GRO School is an 18-week course designed to provide BIPOC grassroots organizers with the training and support necessary to develop a baseline of relational organizing skills. Led by an experienced team of WoC trainers, GRO School is re:power’s answer to the need for sustained, longer-term support for organizers embedded in campaigns and organizations.

We partnered with 28 organizations to strengthen their organizing skills and strategy, and feed their souls.

re:power partnered with so many amazing organizations in 2023, nearly half of which were new relationships to us. We loved diving deep with organizations to support their work and help strengthen both individuals and institutions across the country.

This year we leaned in with our alumni, offering more opportunities to learn and connect than ever before.

Our Alumni Community Manager attended re:power trainings all over the country and connected with alums on their vision for alumni programming. The insights and suggestions confirmed a deep desire for authentic relationships and a thriving network that inspires and sustains each other. She took those lessons to heart by experimenting with both existing and new ideas —like Community Conversations and re:power hour—along with new ones like Mix n Mingles, re:mix (our quarterly alumni newsletter), Recovery Zone, and Celebration Zone.

Folks love our trainings!

“I love this WoC cohort so much. I can see myself healing. I’m recognizing the woman in the mirror again. I am finding my voice again.”

Alum, Women of Color Leadership Cohort

“What inspires me is… my fellows of course! We’re all from different walks of life, which means we have different perspectives and everyone in this program is extremely intelligent and capable and being around like-minded like this just reinforces that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.”

Princeton Hampton Jackson, Data x Power Fellowship

“I hope to apply the skills and tools from GRO School to the work that I’m doing now. The most important thing is to grow the capacity of the people in our community to raise our voices and the issues impacting our community collectively.”

Asma Faizi, Grassroots Organizing School

“What I’m taking away from the training is how to train and interact with our members. A big part of my job is helping to train and support people and guide them through the questions that they’re asking and thinking deeper into what they’re actually doing.”

Jazmin Albertie, Campaign School for Issue Organizers

“In this GWB space, I learned a lot that I didn’t know before about American history and Reconstruction. It’s likely that other Black immigrant electeds are leading Black Americans, and it’s important that they understand this history.”

Alum, Governing While Black (Progressive Governance Academy)

Building relationships to build our future.

We believe in the magic of gathering. As a majority-BIPOC, Black-woman-led organization, gathering is a part of our commitment to building community and a cohesive culture that fosters connection, while building power for our people. Furthermore, we believe that gatherings as a staff is an essential strategy for living fully into our cultural values by giving our team meaningful experiences that deepen human connections and ultimately strengthen our work. In 2024 our staff came together twice as a full team in North Carolina and New Jersey and our board also prioritized an in-person retreat.

We had a wonderful time connecting in Chicago.

Looking forward

In 2025, re:power is prepared to hold our movement, organizations and organizers in love and rigor. We’ll be launching a new sliding scale for all of our public programming to help organizers across the country deepen their practice. And we’ll be offering new trainings including: Digital Advertising, Coalition Building, Narrative & Messaging for Campaigns, and more.
