MissionWe 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.MissionDesc

In 2023, ReThink Media spearheaded a virtual training series, reaching hundreds of attendees and exploring strategies for community organizations to better utilize audio journalism as a tool in public engagement. We also organized a series of virtual convenings bringing together community leaders (including participants from 30 organizations and 18 different states) and members of the press for conversation on key state voting rights issues.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: AnalysisAchievement for this program:The Research & Analysis team strategically maps the media and public opinion landscape to ensure that the right voices are heard, at the right moment, and in the right mediums to shift public opinion and achieve policy wins. In 2023, the Analysis team completed a major media analysis examining three years of coverage of nuclear weapons issues in domestic outlets, as well as smaller analyses of topics such as the New START treaty, the anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, and the release of the film "Oppenheimer". We fielded a public opinion poll on public campaign financing in Seattle, WA, and assisted a partner organization with analyzing their own survey data. The team also completed several vital internal-facing analyses of programmatic initiatives and supported a major database migration.
