How we can help

Direct action is at the heart of what Re:Action does. We have decades of experience organizing all sorts of actions ranging from mass marches and rallies bringing together thousands of people to much smaller creative direct actions that disrupt business as usual. Over the years, we’ve marched thousands of people through the streets, blockaded hundreds of intersections, held moving candlelight vigils, occupied bank branches, blockaded fracking sites, hung massive banners off of buildings, hauled GoGo bands through town on flatbed trucks, painted murals on city streets, and organized head-start classes in corporate lobbies.

We know the nuts and bolts of organizing logistics for actions inside and out, but what really sets us apart is our ability to help partners think strategically and creatively about actions that move forward campaign goals, build capacity, and maximize impact.

Shine a light on your target with a massive projection on the side of their building, near a notable landmark, or at a public event. Our projectors can combine up to 15,000 lumens to create an image that covers the side of a major building. And to design the projections we use industry-standard projection mapping software that allows us to project from tight angles, and even design images that stretch around corners and on multiple surfaces.

We have years of experience facilitating critical conversations, setting up decision making processes, and supporting partners in strategy development in a range of social movement spaces. Drawing from our deep experience, we have experience in a range of collective processes and engagement for networks plus have experience using a number of tools to assist in effective discussions.

We work with organizations to offer live video solutions for events and actions. In the field we can offer bonded connectivity through the industry-standard LiveU platform (combining traffic on the AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile networks at the same time), which allows us to maintain a consistent signal and high-quality even in areas with high network traffic or low connectivity. With ReStreaming software we can push the same video feed to dozens of different social profiles at the same time so every one of your coalition partners can host the feed just like they’re doing it themselves.

Indoors we can step up the production value with multi-camera options for a more engaging experience for your viewers.

Re:Action has decades of experience facilitating trainings and workshops on creative direct action, organizing, research, campaign planning, know your rights and myriad other topics. Drawing from our deep experience, we have training modules that are available off-the-shelf and we are able to adapt training programs to meet the specific needs of our partners.

In high stakes campaigns, making decisions and developing strategy based on best-available-data is essential. Re:Action has experience in qualitative, quantitative, and financial research methods. We work with partners to understand and articulate problems, develop strategy, identify creative solutions, find opportunities to transform power holders.

Today our organizations and movements have access to more information than ever. The key is finding patterns, identifying trends and putting that data to work in our campaigns. That’s why we work with partners to visualize data (Tableau and Kumu), map the our physical and political landscape (ArcGIS), and put information at everyone’s fingertips with easy-to-use interactive databases.

We offer professional stage and sound for movement events. The Re:Action team specializes in supporting movement events with complicated logistics and lots of moving pieces.

Most of the places our movements plan protests don’t exactly offer reliable electricity so we can operate all day on silent, eco-friendly battery powered generators and even bring along solar generators to add some green power for your event.

Planning a rally in the courtyard of a corporate headquarters? We’ll roll in a sound stage on wheels. Planning a march with multiple stops and mini-rallies? We’ll bring along our sound cart with 12” inch high quality speakers and a set of wireless microphones. Planning a civil disobedience action? We’re fine if you want to keep the rally going while you risk arrest. Each one of our wireless microphones have been arrested at least a dozen times!
