Description
As we face creeping fascism, climate crisis, horrific wars, and attacks on our immigrant, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities, there has never been a more urgent time for community organizing. Join us to learn about how everyday people can build our power for positive change!
Community Organizing 101: People, Power & Change is a hands-on workshop on the art of mobilizing people to build their power, achieve shared goals and take greater control of their lives. In this training, we will cover the foundational approaches of building relationships; identifying problems and stakeholders; analyzing root causes including racial, class and other systemic injustice; and nurturing community leadership and solidarity. We will explore these methods through small and large group discussion, interactive exercises, and case studies. This training is intended for staff members and community leaders who have little to no experience in community engagement and organizing.
Instructors: Sarah Horsley & Melinda Vega
