P3 Organizer Seminar 

Previous Seminar Lessons & Recommendations 

P3 offers a seminar for senior organizers seeking to build a world where all people have dignity and agency across lines of race, class, and gender on a semi-regular basis. This space, a mix of in-person convenings and online conversations, was centered around two questions:

• What is the power we need to build true multiracial democracy?
• What are the best short- and long-term strategies to achieve people-centered power?

Leaders representing different geographies, communities, organizing lineages, and approaches to power-building – including statewide formations, governmental agencies, and tenants’ unions – meet in-person and online. Using existing research as a jumping off point, they debate and strategize together to envision a path forward towards long-term power. In a time of intersecting crises, these brilliant groups have generated new ideas for how their communities and the broader power-building ecosystem as a whole can generate new strategies that increase their ability to wield power in the coming decades. This report reflects the key learnings that participants wish to share from the 2023-2024 seminar, centered in two areas:

• The State of Organizing: What is people power, and how do we wield it to win?
• Organizational & Coalitional Structures that Support Power-Building

We hope you’ll consider these in your own work and be in touch with P3 or the participants to continue charting a path forward.
