Coalitions: when joining one helps, and when it does not

A coalition is worth joining when its ask is your ask.

A coalition can carry more weight than one organization alone. It helps when the coalition’s ask is your ask.

  • Join when the members agree on the specific change
  • Stay out when the ask is so broad it commits you to positions you do not hold
  • Keep your own meetings with offices that know you

We organize coalitions for clients and tell each member who else is in them.
