Executive Summary: Building Your Follow-up Coalition

Overview

34 people gathered on November 5, 2019 for an online event focused on building a follow-up coalition. We heard from two experts on how they have addressed their follow-up coalition building in very restrictive environments. Those who have been working on Media to Movements for a while realize how important and difficult building a follow-up coalition can be. Without this, you are identifying those who are open but not bringing them into the critical phase of on-the-ground relationship.
