    Organizational Overview

    Do you want to ensure that progressive organizations have access to the best possible data, technology, and technical expertise? We know movement organizing and advocacy are more urgent than ever and many organizations and activists cannot easily access the tools to scale their work.

Currently, our membership stands at nearly 80 national member organizations, 13 state-based member organizations, and over 1400 affiliate member organizations covered under our licenses.
