Coalitions
Sometimes complicated issues demand strength in numbers.
CGCN understands that some issues require clients to band together as one, where unity in a coalition creates the flexibility to act quickly and decisively to win the day.
How we help
Coalition Strategy & Management
The coalition’s purpose, structure, membership, message, and role within the broader policy and communications strategy are defined up front, with CGCN managing the work needed to keep it moving.
Stakeholder Identification & Recruitment
CGCN identifies and recruits credible organizations, policy experts, activists, unions, business voices, community leaders, and other influential stakeholders around a shared interest in the outcome.
Grasstops & Grassroots Activation
CGCN organizes supporters to make the case in Washington and in key states and districts through direct outreach, public communications, events, and other targeted activity.
Integrated Advocacy & Communications
Coalition activity is connected to the legislative, regulatory, media, digital, and analytical work surrounding the issue so every part of the campaign reinforces the same objective.
Shared interests become organized support, organized support becomes coordinated action, and coordinated action becomes results.
