'Spectrum of Allies' is a tool to examine social forces and groups, spread across the spectrum from those who are the most active supporters to those who are the most dedicated opponents. This tool works well alongside the Tactical Mapping tool. This tool has been shared by Training for Change.

This approach to strategizing serves bottom-up preferences in building social movements. In Starhawk's terms, it serves power-with rather than power-over, and is inherently democratic. 

Please download the facilitation guide and diagram handout (below) for more information.
