What do you know about National and state partnerships of the AMOS Project are:

ohio organizing collaborative

Formed in 2007, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) is an innovative and experimental statewide organization that unites community organizing groups, labor unions, faith organizations, and policy institutes across the state. The OOC currently consists of fourteen member organizations with members in every major metropolitan area and also houses one of the nation’s largest progressive movement building projects.The OOC was formed around three basic ideas. One, that community, faith, labor, and policy organizations must commit to a long term permanent alliance as opposed to coming together sporadically around the latest campaign, contract fight, or election. Second, there is a need for innovation in the field of community organizing that addresses issues of scale, nimbleness, layered strategies, electoral capacity, and breadth of leadership development. And last, we cannot build a progressive movement in this country without the middle of the country. We must develop an economic and organizing agenda that address de-industrialization and the decades’ long decline of urban cores in the Midwest.

National people’s action

National People’s Action has over 200 organizers working to unite everyday people in cities, towns, and rural communities throughout the United States through direct-action, house meetings and community organizing.

The NPA Network consists of 26 organizations across the country that reaches from farmers in rural Iowa to youth in the South Bronx. We have affiliate organizations in 14 states with remote network offices in Washington D.C., California, New York and a central office in Chicago.

PICO National Network

PICO builds community organizations based on religious congregations, schools and community centers, which are often the only stable civic gathering places in many neighborhoods. As a result PICO federations are able to engage thousands of people and sustain long-term campaigns to bring about systematic change at all levels of government.

PICO helps congregations identify and solve local neighborhood issues before addressing broader issues at a city, state or national level. As a result PICO federations are deeply rooted in local communities.

Ohio prophetic voices

The Ohio Prophetic Voices campaign seeks to build a state-wide clergy network committed to moving a powerful prophetic narrative around racial and economic justice in their congregations and the larger public sphere.  As the dominant narrative of individualism, scarcity and fear underpins a public agenda to limit government, increase the amount of private wealth for the few and sow division through racism and exclusion, we must put forth a bold vision grounded in our deepest faith values.  By coordinating our message, linking our congregations in a common program of action and promoting a faith-rooted narrative into the public debate, we can unleash a faith-based movement which calls forth our yearning for community and connectedness, our belief that we have enough for all and a hope that we can build our common life if we do it together.
