Paths
New here? The wiki is big. Pick the path that matches what you’re trying to do, follow it in order, and you’ll have a working mental model by the end. Each step is a real page in the wiki; the sequence is the “why this next” guidance you don’t get from a flat index.
The five paths
-
Start your first campaign — for first-time organisers who have a problem they care about and want to build a campaign plan from scratch. Seven pages: power-mapping → theory-of-change → audience-segmentation → coalition-building → campaign-planning → evaluation → after-action-review.
-
Nonviolent Action 101 — for organisers planning direct action: the foundations of civil resistance, the tactical repertoire, escalation, and the narrative craft that surrounds it.
-
Digital campaigning — for the online side of a campaign: petitions, civic-tech, distributed organising, and the data-protection and digital-security craft that every digital campaign needs.
-
Community organising — for the people-side of an existing or growing campaign: coalition building, leadership development, volunteer management, and public narrative.
-
Lobbying and advocacy — for campaigns that target institutions: legal frameworks, citizen and group lobbying, charity-political-activity rules, and the strategy of policy influence.
How paths work
- Each path is an ordered sequence. The pages are listed in the order you’re meant to read them; each step explains why it comes next.
- Pages on the path carry a nav block. When you’re on a page that belongs to a path, you’ll see a “Part of the path: ◀ prev · next ▶” block at the top so you can move through the sequence without losing your place.
- You can jump between paths. They’re not silos — most pages sit on more than one journey. A page on power-mapping, for example, is the first step of Start your first campaign and shows up under Strategy & power-building in the standard library.
- Translations follow the same paths. The path pages are bilingual-ready and get translated into German, French and Spanish by the same pipeline that translates the rest of the wiki.
