Action Network

Action Network provides digital organising tools covering email, mobile messaging, petitions, events, fundraising, advocacy and automation, serving non-profits, large national organisations, advocacy groups and political campaigns.

The federated structure is what distinguishes it and it addresses a real organisational shape that most campaign software ignores. A national movement is often a network of local groups that share a cause but not a hierarchy, each with its own list and its own autonomy, and the national body needs aggregate reach without taking ownership of every local list. The Network plan is built for exactly that, priced separately from the Movement plan aimed at single small to midsize organisations.

Cooperative development is stated as a principle rather than a marketing line, meaning the tool is built with input from the organisations using it. In a sector where campaign software is usually built by vendors selling to campaigns, that shapes what gets prioritised, and it explains why the feature list leads with petitions, events and advocacy rather than with fundraising.

Action Builder and community management extend into the relational organising side, where the unit is a relationship rather than a contact record, and leadership assessments reflect a genuinely organising-first view that a movement's strength lies in how many people are ready to lead rather than how many are on a list. Action Network Boost is a newer set of features for advanced digital programmes. Pricing starts at 15 dollars a month for Movement and 125 dollars a month for Network, with month-to-month contracts and cancellation at any time, plus mobile messaging priced separately.
