We help movements, campaigns, political parties, candidates and trade unions build people-power at scale.
Bernie Sanders, Momentum, UKUncut, Black Lives Matter, the Youth Strikers and Extinction Rebellion. What do they have in common? They use people-power to win big change. While advocacy strategies have their place, it’s people-power that has transformed the political landscape over the last 10 years.
The Social Practice - founded by senior staffers from the Bernie 2016 campaign and joined by founders of Momentum and UKUncut - specialises in engaging volunteers and building people-power at scale for campaigns, political parties, candidates, trade unions and movements.
