    MOVEON’S FIELD GOAL: 5 MILLION LEADERS

    Our Purpose: Building Progressive Leaders

    • To win progressive change in America, we need progressive leadership on an


    unprecedented scale. MoveOn has five million members. How could we have
    an organization of five million leaders?
    • Our goal as MoveOn’s field network is to develop leaders by combining the
    power of technology with the fundamentals of powerful organizing and
    leadership development.
    • That means building stronger MoveOn Councils with more leaders—Regional
    Coordinators, Council Coordinators, and Council Core members-- and
    developing new kinds of MoveOn leaders for new networks and teams of
    leaders in the field.

    Our core mission over the next three years is twofold:

    1. Develop ten times as many leaders within our membership, and invent new
    forms of leadership development that are effective at scale.

    2. Run powerful campaigns with strong councils that work at both the national
    and local level.

    Our Field Goals:

    • By 2012, we will increase our leadership by an order of magnitude to 15,000


    MoveOn leaders— developing ten times as many leaders as we currently have.

    • In 2010, we will build 2500 core leaders, 100 Regional Coordinators, and 20 ‘level 5’
    Councils, and 1000 new MoveOn Action Corps leaders.

    What's a leader? A leader:

    • Brings more people into organizing: a leader builds new leaders and mobilizes
    more members ---> leadership is viral.
    • Takes on a role, not just a task to complete or an event to attend.
    • Makes a commitment to a certain amount of time/ campaign/ role / team.
    • Develops their organizing skills through training and practice.

    development to double the number of core council members in 2010

    • 100 Regional Coordinators: Double the size of the national Regional


    Coordinator team

    • 20 ‘level 5’ councils: 20 councils that are organizing a locally-driven strategy as


    part of MoveOn national campaigns

    150 strong MoveOn Councils:

    2010 PRIORITY INITIATIVES

    Council initiatives

    1. Core development: Take leadership development to scale; develop new methods for
    members to effectively recruit and retain core council members effectively
    • Scaled organizing for retention and core leadership development: unlocking the
    ability of Council Coordinators and core members to train and organize other core
    members
    • Develop online organizing tactics to recruit people directly, e.g. asking online
    action-takers to join councils, emailing council members to join the core
    • Develop new technology to support scaled leadership development

    2. Scalable National leader development


    • Develop capacity to build and maintain a national leader team, including Regional
    Coordinators and other national team leaders, at scale with new methods and
    technology
    • Develop new national team leader roles to run member teams on new projects and
    initiatives
    • Develop the Lead Regional Coordinator team

    3. Council campaigning:
    • Run localized strategies on national campaigns: build “level 6” councils and run a
    national field strategy that combines longer-term tactics with rapid response
    mobilization
    • Unlock more creative and successful local council campaigning: develop
    campaign toolkits, more advanced and flexible email technologies and
    approaches, special tactical training and development for ‘level 6’ councils.
    • Experiment and innovate more difficult and sophisticated tactics with measurable
    impact on targets.

    4. Major investment in training:


    • Significant expansion of our training program, seeing it as a key engine of
    leadership development, for both core and national team leaders.
    • In-person training: run a few national trainings a year, hold a wave of state and
    regional Camp MoveOns, and regular local trainings.
    • Develop improved capacity with better online, video, and phone training modules.
    MoveOn Action Corps Initiatives

    1. Online-to-Offline Campaign Mobilization

    • Organize field networks around multiple short-term online campaigns and


    develop scaled mechanisms for volunteer recruitment, training, leadership
    development, and accountability.

    2. Mobilization coordinators

    • Build and sustain a network of volunteers who commit to regularly host events
    who aren’t building councils.

    3. New national teams

    • Develop and grow the capacity of volunteer teams that provide support for our
    online and offline organizing, including Research Corps, Support Corps, Phone
    Corps and other specialized teams for people with specific skill-sets (eg. video
    production team or design team).

    • Build new national teams like a training team and a media team that will overlap
    and support council organizing.

    • Organize new networks of national constituency teams (i.e. small business


    owners, medical professionals, people who've lost their homes) who have unique
    skills and critical roles to play in upcoming campaigns.

    4. Social Organizing & Community Building

    • Make a significant investment in community building by creating space for


    MoveOn members to plan and participate community service events, social
    events, and other local community building efforts.

    • Provide ongoing low-lift opportunities for MoveOn members to plug in to


    existing social organizing (eg. using content from progressive book/movie club,
    drinking liberally, or even literally joining those networks and occasionally
    inviting other MoveOn members) and organize several MoveOn-led national
    social events.
