Zack Exley

© Open Society Institute

Zack Exley is an organizer and writer based in Kansas City, Missouri. As an Open Society Fellow he is writing a series of articles about the evolution of the organizing model used by the Obama campaign and about efforts by community and labor groups that used many of the same principles and practices. He is also exploring ways to enable local leaders, organizers, and social service providers in Missouri to mobilize diverse constituencies that do not normally work together.

Exley is a founder of the New Organizing Institute and worked with the Obama campaign as a consultant and researcher. He was online director for the British Labor Party's 2005 campaign, director of online organizing for Kerry-Edwards 2004,  and organizing director at MoveOn.org. He served as an adviser to the Dean campaign and spent much of the 1990s working as a union organizer.
