The New Organizing Institute was created by the first generation of experienced online organizers, or "new organizers"-organizers who use all available new (and "seasoned") technologies to spark and coordinate activity both online and offline.

Our founders and collaborators are veterans of electoral campaigns and progressive nonprofits that have created some of the foremost online success stories.

By training new online organizers and technologists, our goal is to infuse this new field with talented staff, to connect and energize a new generation of progressive activists, and to solidify long-term progressive power.

The NOI runs the only progressive advocacy and campaign training program focused on cutting-edge online organizing techniques (e.g. writing effective emails, engaging bloggers, leveraging social networks, utilizing video), political technology (e.g. using data effectively, progressive technology infrastructure), and the intersection with field and management of these areas of new organizing
