Understanding
power.
Building it.
Using it.

Power isn't a single thing. It takes many forms — moral, economic, political, cultural, network, and enforcement power — and each operates by different rules. Most people only recognize one or two of these forms, leaving them unable to understand why the world works the way it does or how to change it.

Once you can see the different forms of power, you can't unsee them. And once you understand them, you can start to build them.

Darcy Burner's forthcoming book breaks down each form of power — what it is, how it works, who has it, and how ordinary people can build and wield it. Drawing on history, social science, and her own experience in politics and organizing, she offers a framework that changes how you see every power dynamic around you.

The accompanying workbook and bootcamp trainings turn the framework into practice, giving communities the tools to analyze their own power landscape and develop strategies for building the power they need.
