People in the wonk community bounce ideas off one another, argue with each other and work on research that affects public policy. This encompasses both the professionals from politicians to scientists as well as citizens who simply want to get involved.

The social media has given new spaces for the wonk community to express themselves through collaborative efforts now. It has become a breeding ground for new ideas and proposals in online forums and discussion groups. So whether you are a policy enthusiast, or someone looking to break into the world of analysis — I would highly recommend being a part of some wonk community.

Moreover, widespread knowledge and access to resources in the context of a wonk community can better equip its members for advocacy. As longtime Action Network co-director, I found that policy analysis is more accessible and collective action more often impactful when powered by a team of dedicated wonks.
