House by house, family by family, organizers hear from community residents what they want changed in their neighborhood, city, state, and country. Organizers work with community residents to hold meetings, do research on key issues, and develop campaign strategies to get these issues addressed. Through direct actions, negotiations, working with the media, and, sometimes, by getting involved in electoral politics.
New organizers learn how to conduct an organizing drive and a local campaign.
We train organizers to recruit members, build an organizing committee, turn people out to meetings and events, develop campaign strategy, work with leaders, do grassroots fundraising, write press releases, and much more. Faculty, clergy, former employers. Give us some specifics to the right.
