Relational organizing tech and training for the progressive movement
At Empower Project, we organize to improve people’s lives using the power of relational organizing. Together with our partners, we’ve helped boost voter turnout, especially for BIPOC communities, through our approach of tapping into personal networks of friends and family. We provide the software and expertise to help communities, progressive organizations, and nonprofits leverage their personal relationships to build power and dramatically expand the electorate.
We’re organizers, strategists, trainers, and engineers all grounded in community and collective action for a better future.

What we offer
Relational Organizing is a transformative approach that brings us back to the roots of organizing by training volunteers to engage with their loved ones and share personal stories about the issues that matter most to them. Through countless cycles in the field and over ten years of experience, we have honed our strategy to become nationwide leaders on relational organizing. We know what works and we have the results to prove it.
