The Center for Story-based Strategy

SmartMeme re-imagines methods to achieve fundamental social change with effective story-based approaches to framing that amplify the impact of grassroots organizing and challenge the underlying assumptions that shape the status quo. SmartMeme offers social & ecological justice networks and organizations the analysis, training and strategic support to win the battle of ideas with effective narrative strategies.

Center for Artistic Activism

Many artists want to create work that has a social impact. Unfortunately, organizing a successful social-change campaign isn’t often part of an artist’s education. The Art Action Academy (AAA) is a weekend training helping socially-engaged artists make their work more impactful and better evaluate the effect of their work.


Building upon the success of the School for Creative Activism, in which community organizers are trained in cultural tactics and creative strategies, the Art Action Academy flips this model on its head, reorienting the workshops toward artists. Instead of training grassroots change-makers to become more creative, the AAA train socially engaged artists to become more effective change-makers.

Training for Change has been increasing capacity around the world for activist training since 1992. When we say activist training, we mean training that helps groups stand up more effectively for justice, peace and the environment.


We specialize in training trainers, to create a ripple effect in quality activist training. We support activists, but we challenge them, too. We refuse to collude with activists' thinking small or undermining their own power. Instead, our approach challenges activists to step fully into their power.

SOUL is a school to build a movement.


SOUL is working to lay the groundwork for a strong social justice movement by supporting the development of a new generation of organizers rooted in a systemic change analysis -especially people of color, young women, queer and transgender youth and low-income people. We believe that – in order for organizers to build an effective movement for fundamental social change – they need support to develop the nuts-and-bolts organizing skills they need to mobilize their communities and to deepen their political analysis and their visions for fundamental social change. SOUL helps to build the capacity of organizers and leaders of grassroots organizations to win systemic change.

Today, new ways of building power and creating deep change are unfolding across the country.


The Movement Strategy Center brings a cohesive plan to strengthen these emerging efforts and build the progressive
social justice movement. We do this by supporting individuals, organizations, alliances and sectors to be more strategic, collaborative and sustainable.power and creating deep change are unfolding across the country.

Our team includes organizers, community-based researchers, organizational consultants, political strategists and communications specialists. As an intermediary, MSC’s strength is our ability to work at a national scale in a way that is guided by grassroots work and base-building organizations.

 

We work alongside our community partners in order to help them realize their goals within a movement-building frame.



Over the past five years, Movement Strategy Center has worked with more than 300 organizations nationwide,
