What is a Power Map? • What Change Do We Want? • Who has the Resources to Create that Change? • What do they Want? • What do we have that they Want?
Goals and Strategy • Developed by the Campaign Department often in consultation with the Organizing Department • Defines what we need to accomplish and how to achieve it • Powermapping helps influence strategy and visa versa
Who Can Give You What You Want? • Decision-Maker with a Name • Be Specific-A Target is Not an Agency • One who ultimately makes the Decision
Who is the Primary Target? • Bellingham Mayor, Kelli Linville • Department of Ecology • President Barak Obama • Army Corps, Colonel Bruce A Estok • Department of Interior, Sally Jewel • Chinese Government
Best Practices • Facebook/Twitter • Ask the Staff • Voting Record • Donor Lists • News Articles • Other Projects • Google Search with Key Words
Create a List of Influencers • Friends Family • Teachers Students • People directly affected Labor unions • Religious leaders Political parties • Donors Political leaders • Community organizations Business people • Media outlets Celebrities • Safety officials Work colleagues • etc….
Map the Influencers • Place your target decision-maker at the top of the map • Then use post-it notes to place other individual and organization on the map • Use location WITHIN boxes to map relative influence and support or opposition
