Traditional power mapping is often short-term and single issue but we all know that environmental issues don’t work that way. Power doesn’t exist for one issue in a vacuum.
This webinar provides an introduction to community power mapping, an alternative to traditional power mapping that allows us to better understand the power dynamics in our community and who has influence. We explore how to understand our strategic position, work as a collective to avoid conflicting environmental goals, and win more campaigns.
