  • Because we’re building a community of change-makers. When you sign up, you become part of a network of people using stories to create real change in their communities. Plus, we can send you new discussion guides, success stories, and updates to the method.

  • Perfect! Most of our community started with zero organizing experience. The ACTION Method™ is designed to be accessible whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned activist. We start with small, manageable actions and build from there.

  • Not at all! The method works with existing book clubs, casual watch parties, family movie nights, or even one-on-one conversations about stories. Any discussion of social justice fiction can become a launching pad for action.

  • Absolutely! Many experienced organizers use our method as a recruitment and political education tool. It’s a brilliant way to introduce people to organizing concepts without the intimidation factor. Plus, our discussion guides can help you facilitate deeper conversations about power, strategy, and coalition-building within your existing work.

  • That’s exactly why we use stories! When you’re talking about dragon hoarding or dystopian governments, people’s defenses come down. The conversations feel safe because they’re about fiction, but they naturally lead to insights about real-world issues.

  • You control the pace. Some groups add 20 minutes of ACTION discussion to existing meetings. Others dedicate full sessions to the method. The framework is flexible and adapts to your schedule and comfort level.

  • Absolutely! Our method is perfect for developing critical thinking, media literacy, and civic engagement skills. Students analyze power structures in popular fiction, then connect those insights to real-world systems. It’s discussion-based learning that’s both engaging and educational — plus it gives students practical tools for community involvement.
