Relational organizing is about leaning on your communities to build sustainable collective power. The Relational Organizing session, led by Marisa Kanof and Alfredo Hernandez from VoteRev.org, explores the core principles of relational organizing and its enduring efficacy as a coalition-building and get-out-the-vote tactic. This session defines the differences between relational organizing and relational mobilizing, the value of trusted messengers in delivering a campaign or organization’s mission, and key considerations in building a timely, effective, and wide-reaching relational organizing model
