Build power with people in your community.
RAD NH organizing teams bring people together to build relationships, understand the forces shaping their communities, develop local leaders, and take sustained action around shared priorities.
You do not need prior organizing experience. You only need care for your community and a willingness to take the next step with others.
Teams turn shared concerns into shared responsibility.
A strong organizing team creates a structure where people can build trust, identify priorities, divide responsibility, develop leadership, and take action together.
Build relationships
Members learn one another’s stories, values, strengths, and motivations, creating the trust needed for honest conversation and coordinated action.
Identify local priorities
Teams listen to people in their communities, study local conditions, and identify opportunities connected to RAD NH’s strategy.
Share responsibility
Members take roles in outreach, facilitation, turnout, communications, storytelling, research, and campaign leadership.
Take collective action
Teams move from discussion into action through public meetings, canvassing, testimony, elections, and community campaigns.
Develop new leaders
People grow by practicing skills, receiving support, leading others, and creating opportunities for new members to step forward.
Reflect and adapt
Teams debrief their work, learn from successes and setbacks, and adjust strategy based on what they are discovering.
The purpose of a team is to help more people take ownership of the work and become capable of organizing others.
There are many ways to help a team grow and succeed.
People bring different strengths, schedules, experiences, and access needs. Responsibility is shared so members can contribute in sustainable and meaningful ways.
You do not have to be an expert, a public speaker, or available every week.
Some members begin by attending a meeting or joining one action. Others are ready to help with outreach, lead a project, or support a team role.
The goal is to find a real next step that matches your interests and capacity, then help you grow from there.
Join conversations
Share what you are experiencing, listen to others, and help the team understand what matters in the community.

Local action connected to a larger strategy.

Local community issues
Housing costs, healthcare access, school funding, property taxes, energy bills, public services, and local democracy.
Statewide campaigns
Community experiences connect to statewide policy fights, legislative action, and shared public demands.
Community outreach
Members canvass, phonebank, table at events, hold one-to-one conversations, and invite people into deeper participation.
Public action and accountability
Teams organize testimony, meetings with decision-makers, rallies, public events, direct action, and follow-up.
Elections and governing power
Teams engage voters, support aligned candidates, and continue organizing after Election Day.
Leadership development
Every area of work creates opportunities for members to practice skills, take responsibility, and recruit others.
Teams may begin with one issue, but the long-term goal is to build a durable group that can organize across issues, campaigns, and election cycles.
You will have support as you learn, organize, and lead.
Organizing teams create meaningful opportunities for member leadership within RAD NH’s shared strategy, organizational responsibilities, and statewide priorities.
Staff and members work together to turn local concerns into aligned, effective action.
Organizers support relationship building, leadership development, campaign planning, outreach, facilitation, and team reflection.
They also help ensure that team priorities, public actions, and communications fit within RAD NH’s broader strategy and responsibilities.
Training
Members can participate in organizing, leadership, campaign, storytelling, canvassing, facilitation, and digital organizing trainings.
Coaching and debriefs
Organizers help members prepare for new roles, reflect on what happened, and identify the next opportunity to grow.
Tools and materials
Teams receive approved outreach plans, agendas, scripts, campaign tools, communications support, data, and follow-up systems.
Statewide connection
Local work connects to shared priorities, campaigns, trainings, and strategy across New Hampshire.
Accessibility and flexibility
We discuss accommodations, schedules, technology, transportation, and other access needs.
Opportunities to lead
Members can facilitate, recruit, train, coordinate, help shape team plans, and develop others in partnership with staff.
The goal is to develop confident member leaders who can take meaningful responsibility while keeping local work coordinated, accountable, and connected to RAD NH as a whole.
