Michael Silberman is an American activist, writer, and social justice technology strategist.

Silberman directed the national "meetup" grassroots organizing program for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign[1], which became known for its pioneering use of the internet for political movement building.[2] He also co-founded digital and political consulting firm Echo&Co with Nicco Mele and others from the Howard Dean campaign.[3]

Silberman was hired by Greenpeace in 2011 to launch a "Digital Mobilisation Centre of Excellence"[4] which became known as the Mobilisation Lab and provided guidance to other international organizations including UNICEF, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and Oxfam.[5]

Silberman is widely published on matters exploring the intersection of social justice, collective action, and the internet. He has written for the Stanford Social Innovation Review[6], OpenDemocracy[7], and the Chronicle of Philanthropy[8]. He is the co-author of a book about lessons from Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign[9]

Silberman servers on the boards of several nonprofits, including Oxfam America[10], the Climate Advocacy Lab[11], and the Story of Stuff Project[12]. In 2014, The Nonprofit Times named Silberman to its list of the U.S.'s 50 most influential leaders.[13]
