About the Campaigning Wiki
The Campaigning Wiki is a working field manual for organisers — a distilled, cross-referenced library of campaign strategy, organizing, tactics and digital craft, with worked case studies and the sources behind every claim.
It is built for people running real campaigns: advocates, organisers, union and movement staff, and the volunteers around them. New here? Start with start-here, browse the case-studies, or open the full index.
What’s inside
The craft is organised around four pillars — the places campaigns are won or lost:
- Strategy — theory of change, power mapping and campaign planning.
- Organizing — building the people power a campaign runs on.
- Tactics — the repertoire of actions, from petitions to nonviolent direct action.
- Digital — digital organising, security and data craft.
Alongside the how-to articles sit worked case studies — real campaigns, what they did, and what can be learned from them.
How it’s made
Every page you can read here is grounded in sources. The wiki distills material from practitioners and reference works, and a publish gate keeps the live site honest: a page only goes public once its claims trace back to cited sources. Pages that are still ungrounded stubs are held back rather than shown, so what you read is backed by something you can check. Articles are sorted into curation tiers so you can tell craft instruction from background reference at a glance.
Languages
The core of the wiki is being translated into German, French and Spanish alongside the original English. Use the language switcher in the page header to move between available translations.
Ask the wiki
Every page carries an Ask box. Ask a question in plain language and it answers using only the wiki’s own cited content — with no source to ground an answer, it says so rather than guessing.
Using this material
The wiki summarises and links to original sources rather than republishing them — follow the links to read and cite the primary material. Please respect the licence of each source you reach.
