Randall Smith

Hi, I'm Randall Smith. I help people design and build people-powered campaigns.

In 2013, I founded PowerLabs, a consulting firm that supports organizations to create leaderful people-powered campaigns.

I specialize in training, coaching and strategic planning support to build the capacity of organizations, leaders and networks.

Our clients include Courage Campaign, EmbraceRace, Forward Together, Four Freedoms Fund, Free Press, Funders Collaborative on Youth Organizing, IfNotNow, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Movimiento Cosecha, and Nellie Mae Education Foundation.

Previously, I provided strategic support to user-generated campaigns on Change.org's platform. My work at Change.org helped people win life-changing (and life-saving) victories including freeing loved ones from prison and changing the policies that govern lung transplants for kids.

Prior to Change.org, I directed the digital program at Corporate Accountability, a global NGO that protects people and the environment from corporate abuses.

I've also worked as a direct action trainer during the alter-globalization movement, a tenant organizer, and the operations director of an immigrant-led human rights organization.

I'm a Campaign Bootcamp mentor, a Momentum trainer, and a member of the Article 25 and EmbraceRace advisory boards. I've spoken or trained at Netroots Nation, RootsCamp, CampaignCon, Money for Our Movements and many other events.
