Building interdependent ecosystems of real power.
I work with movements, coalitions, and institutions that are serious about building power. The work is always relational, always rooted in the real conditions on the ground, and always aimed at building something that lasts beyond the engagement.
Strategic counsel for coalitions and organizations navigating complex political landscapes. I help groups align on shared analysis, identify leverage points, and design and execute campaigns that hold the full complexity of the moment.
For coalitions, organizations, and institutions working to build meaningful partnerships across sectors, strengthen alignment, and develop the kind of relationships that allow for both accountability and shared power. I work with partners at every scale.
Designing the scaffolding for campaigns and long-term movement infrastructure. This includes coalition architecture, decision-making frameworks, and the connective tissue between organizations working toward shared goals.
Developing leaders who can hold complexity, build across difference, and sustain the work over time. I offer coaching, advising, and training for individuals and teams at every level of movement and institutional leadership.
PMAs draw from traditions carried by liberation movements around the world, including the Zapatistas, the Pan-African Congress, and many others. In the U.S., Project South and the Southern Movement Assembly have been central to developing the practice. PMAs bring people together to identify problems, share utopian visions, and commit to faithful next steps. I facilitate assemblies for coalitions, communities, and organizations ready to move from conversation to collective action.
I've worked with national coalitions, grassroots organizations, foundations, faith institutions, higher ed campus communities, and cross-sector alliances. The common thread is a genuine commitment to building power with the communities most impacted by the conditions they're trying to change.
If you're looking for someone to simply confirm what you already think, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're looking for someone who will challenge your assumptions with love and grace, and support you building something that makes the work more impactful for all stakeholders, I'd like to hear from you.
A note on client references: I use general descriptions rather than named organizations out of respect for the relationships and the work. If you'd like to discuss specific engagements, I'm happy to do so in conversation.
Let's talk about what you're building.
