About Action & Innovation

In a time of deep political and social challenge, The Action Lab helps communities move from reacting to rebuilding—creating strong, sustained practices and campaigns for change. 

We equip organizers and organizations with practical tools, shared frameworks, knowledge and support to develop and implement new approaches. Through experimentation and collaboration, we build the lasting power needed to shape a more just future.

The Action Lab works to support the movements, organizations, and campaigns that protect workers, families and communities and that build a politics of inclusion and belonging.

The Action Lab’s Worker Power Initiative trains, connects, and inspires the next generation of labor leaders. We help everyday workers move to sustained organizing.
