Power Mapping and Analysis

The “Power Mapping and Analysis” guide from The Commons Social Change Library offers a detailed framework for campaign teams to understand and map out the power dynamics surrounding their issues. This resource walks teams through a collaborative exercise where they can create a visual representation of power holders and their relationships. The process involves identifying key players, assessing their influence, and understanding how these relationships impact the campaign. By doing so, teams can develop a more informed and strategic approach to their campaigns, ensuring they target the right individuals and build effective strategies to achieve their goals.
