Building Coalitions: It’s a Strategy!
Who do we need? & What do we need to do to win?

Our goal is to…
… think outside the box!

So, how do we do that?
![Page 6: Thinking Outside the Box: How to Build Coalitions Beyond the Usual Suspects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56815ef0550346895dcdb272/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ask current allies• What organizations do they work with? • What other organizations do they know of
that are active locally? • What other organizations do your fellow
AAUW members belong to? • What other organizations do YOU belong to?

Think about all the stakeholders • Look at the issue from all
the different angles:– Who benefits from what you
are trying to achieve? – Who would it affect?

Think about it in reverse
• What organizations are opposed to your chosen priority issue?
• Then ask yourself: What organization is a counter to that organization?

So, who will be in your GOTV coalition?
• Ask current allies • Think about all the different stakeholders • Think about it in reverse • Contact AAUW national staff • Google it
If you already have a coalition in place: What races will you focus on for voter education? Who will you target for voter registration?
