This new blog from the Movement Strategy Center is a great place for activists to read about a variety of valuable campaigns, discuss opportunities and strategies, and engage with the wider activist community. The goal of the center is to connect activists and groups in work for local communities, broad social solutions, and general fights for change.

 

The blog, called “Let’s Talk:  At the Heart of Movement Building,” posts on all kinds of activist-centric topics. It’s a great place to generate organizing ideas and pick up tips from fellow activists. While there are lots of topical posts (examples from early this winter include a tribute to Nelson Mandela, a year-end round up of inspiring campaigns), the blog also invites activists to consider and discuss broader issues that challenge the community.
