We're live with Charlotte Bence on YouTube now - organising is building power and influence. First questions is who or what is your target? Question two - are you organising or mobilising? Equity Live Performance youtube.com/watch?v=Yp73n7…

Organising is expanding the base of those directly effected by what you are trying to change. Advocacy is third party experts supporting on behalf of others. Whilst important, on its own, advocacy does not build power.

It is hard to organise against an ideology. If you want people to join you in your organising, you have to explain what their contribution will help you to achieve together. This is what is wrong, this is how it can be different - John Kelly's framework

'If you fight, you won't always win. But if you don't fight, you will always lose' - Bob Crow. Proper planning has to come first to think about what will happen if things go wrong. You have to do it first, not in the midst of a crisis. Equity Live Performance

Theory of Change from charity NGO sector, but where trade unions and community organisers have changed this - is that you have to have an analysis of power.

Types of power: 1. Moral power - inflicting reputational damage. 2. Institutional power - rules and regulations that protect power. 3. Structural power - power that come from your position within a system. 4. Positional power. Or for organisers: 5. Associational power
