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

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

I specialize in training, coaching, and strategic support to help organizers create the strategy, structures, and processes to allow them to build the strategic capacity and power of their organizations.

Organizations I have worked with include Courage California, Forward Together, Free Press, Future Majority, IfNotNow, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Movimiento Cosecha, Showing Up for Racial Justice, Sunrise Movement, and United for Respect.

I am also a Momentum trainer and co-organize peer support and training events for the Momentum digital community of practice.

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. At Change.org I was part of a team that garnered the company millions of dollars of earned media and added millions of users to the platform.

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

I live with my family in Guadalajara, Mexico.
