Moral Fusion Organizing

The greatest social advances in American history have been propelled by multi-identity and multi-issue movements rooted in moral and constitutional values. What we know is that the power of fusion organizing lies in the strength of grassroots organizers across issue areas coming together to form a powerful conglomerate for political and social action.

At this moment in history, we believe that we are in the midst of a Third Reconstruction initiated by a powerful moral fusion coalition in response to extremist forces that are opposed to establishing a fully representative democracy. We draw from the history of successful fusion coalitions during the First Reconstruction in the Deep South where, in the shadow of slavery and amid the wreckage of the Civil War, Black and White people organized together on the basis of shared values to gain control of every statehouse across the South.

We believe that if we fully grasp the lessons learned from the moral fusion movements of the First and Second Reconstructions, organize across issues and identity, and disrupt the alliance of white nationalism and religious extremism, we can bring the promise of American democracy to fruition in the Third.
