It’s no secret that organizing is hard work. Talking with people, creating relationships, and building leaders is what has, and will continue to, advance our movement. We're at a pivotal moment where we know the importance of high-attention, short-term events like elections, voter registration pushes, and Census outreach.
Our challenge is molding these moments into long-term power building opportunities for our communities. This training will cover the basics of the "leaderful" organizing model—including assessments, one-on-ones and more—and how to bring them all together into an effective, power-building organizing program that identifies and develops leaders to help scale progressive movements. We will define 5 core attributes of the organizing and contextualize each one with first-hand stories from real world scenarios. This training is for anyone interested in learning how to build power through organizing.
