OPEN [the Online Progressive Engagement Network] incubates and accelerates people-powered progressive action in 14 countries and 6 continents.
In 17 countries, OPEN members are changing the game. Organisations like Amandla in South Africa and Nossas in Brazil combine deep digital acumen and old-fashioned offline organising, with a unique focus on speed and tactical flexibility.
We’re providing a surging democratic counterforce to growing authoritarianism and the fast-moving power of the far right. OPEN member organisations speak directly to people’s day-to-day concerns and fears, but with the values of care, justice and equality at their heart.
With a combined 26 million members – 1 in 15 domestic voters – people power is the engine driving OPEN members towards progressive victories. Through strategy, coordination and practical enablement, OPEN is the connective force that incubates and accelerates change.
OPEN seeds organisations and nurtures progressive leaders with a strategic focus on expanding the network in the Global South. We help new organisations to quickly become fully member-funded and to score their first wins for people-powered change, whether it’s stripping right-wing organisations of financial services, defeating fossil fuel developments or defending workers.
