Overview
The Movement Cooperative is a member-led nonprofit data and technology cooperative that pools the purchasing power of progressive groups to provide affordable voter data, software licenses, and advanced data tools. Members access these assets through a pooled buying group, along with technical support, data engineering, research services, and a community space. It differs from typical vendors by being governed by its member organizations as a true cooperative and by using collective bargaining to secure licenses at scale, all tailored to support movement-building. Its goal is to help progressive organizations of all sizes operate more effectively and grow their advocacy, civic engagement, and organizing efforts with high-quality data and tools.
