Online Progressive Engagement Network (OPEN)
The Online Progressive Engagement Network is a network of nearly 20 digital campaigning organisations around the world, including MoveOn (the US), Campact (Germany), and GetUp! (Australia). Each OPEN member organisation is an independent group working within its national context, enabling its members to take action online and offline. But the organisations problem-solve and innovate together, sharing research, tools, and tactics that build their collective power. OPEN’s contributions to the Commons Library are the result of that sharing: from tips for getting in front of the media, to a collection of GetUp’s A/B tests to optimise email and webpage performance.
