Mission

We strengthen groups collaborative media and communications capacity, increase the voiceshare of advocates, experts, and community spokespeople, and provide in-depth media, messaging, and opinion research to advance effective organizing and advocacy strategy. All driven by a belief that the stronger groups are across an issue sector and the tighter their collaboration, the more likely they are to win real and lasting social change. ReThink works in several distinct, yet interconnected, issue areas: combating bigotry and advancing human and civil rights; ensuring fair elections, impartial courts, and a more representative democracy; and working to end militarism and advance a more just and constructive US foreign and national security policy.
