Learn introductory strategies for organizing campaigns to win on neighborhood or community issues important to your organization. Community organizing is about building powerful movements of people to win concrete victories. Anyone can organize. Being strategic about organizing builds your group's power, builds new leadership, and addresses your constituency's interests around real neighborhood issues.
Community and neighborhood leaders who've led successful organizing campaigns will join us to share their experiences and insights on what's worked and not worked for their organizations.
Basic introductory skills you'll learn:
• Choosing issues as vehicles to building organizational power
• Developing your goals, objectives, and messages
• Identifying and securing resources you'll need for your campaign
• Recruiting allies/supporters
• Knowing your opponents
• Identifying targets, those with power, who can give you what you want
• Developing tactics as part of an action plan to get what you want
Who should attend:
• Neighborhood or community leaders who want to organize a campaign on an issue important to their community
