Build real coalitions with others who share your goal, so your advocacy is amplified by partners rather than isolated, and the coalition holds under pressure rather than fracturing over ego or ownership.
First in Build Power with Others and the People You Serve, when your advocacy needs more weight than one organization's voice.
A coalition on paper is not power; these terms are what let it hold.
Power in advocacy comes from numbers, alliances, and shared credibility, and an organization advocating alone is almost always weaker than it needs to be. A real coalition rests on a genuinely shared goal and clear terms for roles, decisions, and credit, the things that keep it together when the pressure comes. Look beyond your usual partners: some of your most useful allies want the same change for reasons entirely their own.
