Action Network is a web-based mass email and text, advocacy and event program designed to help you build your email list, understand members more completely, communicate with them more intelligently and engage them more fully online and offline. You can engage, retain and increase your advocates:

Mobilize your supporters (quickly and easily email and text your entire list of members)
Gain new activists (members, families, neighbors, friends, associates)
Build a pool of likely volunteers for rallies, phone banks and other offline activities
Sway decision-makers and target your message (send letters directly to Congress and state legislatures - the program gives you this information from your ZIP code entry)
Create customized messages;
Send acknowledgments of support and
Track your responses both by overall numbers and individual members.

Each affiliate has access to its own Action Network group. The AFT provides free online and telephone training for chapter managers, who will maintain the database and generate information and advocacy campaigns and communications. The initial training takes approximately one hour. Follow-up training and support are always available.
