About PowerSwitch Action
PowerSwitch Action is a national network organizing to realize and build multi-racial feminist democracies in our cities, towns, and regions. Together with our 21 affiliates and one regional project we are driving an agenda to bring the billions of dollars in local public investments under the oversight of the communities most impacted, to expand decision making and power to more of the residents in our regions, to support the building and growth of member- based organizations, and to fight, when necessary, corporate actors who use their power to extract and cause harm to our communities.
PowerSwitch Action’s currently includes 21 grassroots organizations pioneering innovative policy and organizing approaches in cities, counties, and states around the US. Our affiliates weave strategic alliances and alignments amongst labor, neighborhood, housing, racial justice, faith, ethnic-based, and environmental groups to organize communities, advocate for policy change, and shift power from corporations to the people whose labor has been exploited and voices excluded.
