Case Study: Workers Defense Project strengthens supporter organizing and outreach with CiviCRM

Workers Defense Project mobilizes 400 supporters with CiviCRM

Workers Defense Project, an organization fighting for construction workers' rights in Texas, needed a more strategic database to help organize its diverse base of supporters and engage them in the political process against a powerful industry. They turned to the vendor CiviCRM and its CiviEvent service to better track supporter participation and outreach.

Using CiviCRM, they implemented a system to create events, manage call lists, assign outreach tasks to staff and volunteers, and track participant statuses for a key city council meeting. This resulted in the successful mobilization of over 400 supporters, which contributed to the passage of a landmark bill guaranteeing construction workers a living wage. CiviCRM helped the organization strengthen communication, keep supporters involved, and ensure fewer people fell through the cracks during recruitment.
