Built for member engagement
With VAN, you can segment members, build targeted lists, and track every interaction. From worksite conversations to hall sign-ups, this member organizing software gives you the data to understand and mobilize your base. Record actions to see who’s most active and ready to lead, and use engagement insights to find organizers across locals and worksites.
Mobilize workers through events
Mobilize helps you recruit attendees, boost participation, and sustain engagement for campaign kickoffs, rallies, and days of action. Automations and reminders keep turnout strong while reducing staff workload, so organizers can focus on relationships instead of RSVPs.
Turn conversations into action
Use MiniVAN to put canvassing lists directly into the hands of your stewards and organizers. They can track conversations in real time, record important member data, and sync it seamlessly back to VAN.
Unify your tech stack for affiliates
Bring all your local affiliates onto one system for greater consistency, efficiency, and shared strength. A unified platform helps you standardize data collection, streamline communication, and coordinate campaigns across regions.
Signatures and stories with Online Actions
Collect authorization signatures with Online Actions — each one syncs into VAN, your member organizing software, so you can track progress and follow up with potential members. Use the same tool to gather worker stories that highlight wins and management’s impact. Together, these signatures and stories strengthen solidarity and amplify your message.
