Dear John:
Do you want to run for office? Change the course of history?
People's Action believes government can be by and for the people.
This means you.
That's why we've built a powerful candidate and campaign leadership program to recruit, run and elect radical progressives into local and statewide offices across the country.
We've already trained - and elected - hundreds to every level of government.
Do you want to join the People's Wave?
Now you can. From August 17th to September 14th, we'll host our first virtual Movement Politics Academy.
This training is open to all current or prospective candidates, campaign staff and staff at People's Action member organizations.
If you want to learn how to run and win, join us!
The course is four weeks of two-hour sessions on Monday and Thursday at 7 ET. There will also be a couple of optional (but highly encouraged) political education sessions on Friday August 21st and Tuesday August 25th at 1 - 3PM ET. All sessions will be hosted on Zoom.
Our focus is on electing women, people of color, and low-income people who are grounded in progressive movement building with our member organizations.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the cost is $45 per participant. Limited scholarships are available.
Topics for sessions will include:
Introduction to Movement Politics
Power & Self Interest
Building a Bigger We: Historic Blocs of the Movement
One to Ones
Go Bold: Big Vision Platforms and Structural Reform
Planning to Win: Crash Course on Making a Campaign Plan
Field Plans for People Powered Campaigns
Political Plans: Power Analysis, Endorsements and Electoralizing Issue Fights
Fundraising
Messaging, Narrative, Core Communications Skills
Scaled Organizing: Distributed, Relational and Building Volunteer Teams
Thanks for your support of our Movement Politics program!
In solidarity,
Brooke Adams
