A New Model:
Built for the movement. Powered by People.
Rooted in community. Anchored in trust. Centered on justice.
Introducing Groundswell Contact
Groundswell Contact is reimagining what paid outreach can be. We fuse the precision of professional field programs with the passion and purpose of movement organizing—delivering high-impact, locally staffed, data-driven campaigns backed by deep investments in training and technology.
We believe in a "leave it better than we found it" approach. That means building real capacity, growing local leadership, and strengthening the communities we serve—not just checking boxes.
Our Leadership Fuels Our Vision.
Our leadership started on the doors and rose through the ranks of campaigns, labor, and national organizing infrastructure—with the firsthand perspective of those who’ve been on the client side, accountable to members, funders, and elected leaders.
We’ve seen where the old models fall short. That’s why we built something different.
At Groundswell Contact, we don’t just follow best practices—we challenge them, improve them, and build new ones rooted in today’s reality. Because innovation without reflection isn’t strategy—it’s luck.
