Think of power broadly. Power is more than the size of your membership. It is the time, money, and relationships members are willing to risk. Power is the relationships the organization has forged, the funds it has raised, the capacities created.

Power is the ability to marshal forces—people, money, and ideas—to move things. It is something many of us are taught to fear, a force used against us. Power is neutral; it can be used for good or evil. We build it to be held by large groups of people who want justice for themselves and others too.
