Summary
A huge, well-organized open library covering campaign strategy, organizing, digital campaigning, communications, and fundraising. The workhorse reference for working campaigners.
Body
The Commons is the workhorse open library for campaigners. It covers the full arc: campaign strategy (people-power manual, campaign-accelerator, theory of change), community organising (one-to-ones, leadership development), digital campaigning (e-campaigning, list-building, distributed organising), communications (framing, narrative, public narrative), and fundraising mechanics. Sub-pages worth knowing: the [198 Methods] adaptation of Sharp, the [Civil Resistance 2.0] digital-era upgrade, [The Tactic Star] tactic-selection framework, and the [Tactics Toolkit] of named tactics. All material is CC-licensed — quote short passages with attribution, link back to the canonical page, and adapt freely.
