2022 Annual Network Survey Brief: Perspectives on Communities Building Power

 

Every year, The Praxis Project (Praxis) surveys its network of Communities of Praxis to ascertain the relationships and experiences of community organizations. In the summer of 2022, Praxis conducted its annual network survey. The survey guides Praxis’ focus areas, offerings, and program design. It helps identify where power is being shifted and sustained, and where it has room for support.

From June through July 2022, we received responses from 82 base building community organizations’ executive directors or representatives. Responding organizations represent local, regional, tribal, and national service areas and primarily have ten or fewer staff members.

This brief summarizes our 2022 network survey results, focusing on community power, features of community power, how groups build community power, the challenges and opportunities they face in their work, and how Praxis can support their efforts.
