[Peace] Digital Organizing for Progressive Campaigns and Issues

[Karen Aram]

DIGITAL ORGANIZING FOR PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGNS AND ISSUES: 2-DAY WORKSHOP
SATURDAY, JULY 7, 10 AM – 6 PM & JULY 8, 10 AM – 6 PM
In 2008, Obama For America revolutionized the use of social media for political campaigns, and Barack Obama won the election in a landslide (winning by 9.5 million popular and 192 electoral votes, but who’s counting?).
In 2016, the Trump campaign and its allies relied extensively on social media and achieved an upset victory, plunging a divided nation into chaos. Since the 2016 election, progressive grassroots groups and campaigns have exploded on the local, state, and national scene, resulting in fierce competition for visibility and resources.
Have you been trying to figure how best to use digital organizing strategies and tactics to accentuate the organizing work you do for candidates and around issues? Then this two-day training is for you!

This training is designed for candidates, campaign staffers/volunteers, and people organizing for racial, economic, or climate justice who already use social media (mass email, Facebook, etc.) and want to gain professional skills.

Best news: We have three spaces available for industrious but cash-strapped activists willing to volunteer for local candidates. Contact deb at pdamerica.org<mailto:deb at pdamerica.org>.
Topics to be covered in-depth:

* The role digital organizing can play throughout your entire campaign/organization

* Key strategies for effective email writing and social media

* Building an offline and online strategy that works together and how to measure the results
