Toolkit for Digital Organizing

Want to build a thriving, inclusive online space for progressives—but don’t know where to start? The Toolkit for Digital Organizing gives you everything you need to create and sustain a digital community that actually works—one that fosters connection, sparks engagement, and drives real-world action.

In today’s social media landscape, outrage travels faster than dialogue. It's harder than ever to hold space for nuance, shared values, and collaboration. That’s where this Toolkit comes in.

Whether you're launching a local mutual aid group, a climate justice hub, or a national network for progressive change, this guide offers a clear, step-by-step roadmap to help you:

• Define your mission and attract the right people
• Choose the best platform for your needs (hint: it’s not always Facebook)
• Set healthy, inclusive guidelines that protect your community
• Keep members engaged with meaningful conversations and shared wins
• Handle conflict and trolls without losing your mind
• Scale your space with intention, while staying grounded in your values
• Bridge the gap between online and offline, turning digital energy into collective power

This isn’t a theory-heavy textbook. It’s practical, action-oriented, and deeply rooted in the belief that digital organizing can be transformative when done right.

Whether you’re brand new to this or ready to take your online organizing to the next level, the Toolkit will walk you through every stage—from first post to first rally.

You’re not just starting a group. You’re building a movement.

Let’s get it done.
