Organizational Overview Do you want to help ensure that every organizer, advocate, and changemaker in the progressive movement has what they need to create bold, people-powered change? Join us in making that vision a reality. Launched in 2018, The Movement Cooperative (TMC) is a nonprofit member cooperative uniting more than 80 national and state-based organizations and over 1,400 affiliates through shared infrastructure and collaborative support. We bridge the gap between vision and capacity—democratizing access to tools, data, and strategic expertise that help our members organize more efficiently, campaign more effectively, and drive lasting impact across the movement. As a cooperative, TMC is governed by and for its members, with a board(s) made up primarily of staff from member organizations. Together, we’re reimagining what’s possible when movement groups have the infrastructure they need to thrive.

We are a collaborative, small team that bridges the gap between complex data and actionable strategy. We don't just produce reports; we work in lockstep with our partners to identify critical questions, implement studies, and translate findings for both technical and non-technical audiences. Our mission is rooted in ensuring the progressive movement has the evidence base and tools necessary to win systemic change.
