Action Network
Organizing and outreach tools for progressive groups, campaigns, and nonprofits.
Action Network is an online organizing platform for progressive organizations, combining mass email, SMS/MMS messaging, fundraising, petitions, letter campaigns to elected officials, events, forms, and surveys in a single toolset. It aims to help teams mobilize supporters, raise money, and sustain relationships with activists.
Key capabilities include email marketing with A/B testing, automated workflows, and drip campaigns; mobile messaging with call campaigns; event management with RSVPs, shifts, ticketing, and campaign maps; advocacy tools such as petitions and letter campaigns; and data features including activist profiles, group hierarchies, tags, custom fields, and reporting. AI features include a Predictive Opens Model, Automated Audience Expansion, and DataBot for natural-language data reporting. Integrations include ActBlue Sync, an API, SQL Mirror, and Inbox Monster seed list testing. The platform also supports Action Builder, a separate toolset for unions and organizing campaigns.
Action Network serves grassroots activists through to large federated organizations. It offers a free tier for those getting started, alongside paid plans sized for single small-to-midsize organizations, multi-group networks, and high-volume enterprises. Billing is usage-based, with monthly minimums, and additional tools and features can be added to any plan.
