We will be working a "buddy system," so even if this is your first time canvassing you will have plenty of support!!
We will meet at Deering Oaks Park, at the bandstand, and will spend the first 30-ish minutes going over the campaign and training on what we are going to be talking to our neighbors about and will spend the last 30-ish minutes of our time debriefing together.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us on slack as well!!

each other in struggle.

Structured Organizing Conversations
Description: Looking to engage your members more deeply in DSA? A training on how to ask individuals to get more involved in our work and take on roles of responsibility.
What you will take from it: The purpose and six steps of an organizing conversation and the ability to see it modeled and practice it yourself.
How do you move an entire organization action? Outline an action to be taken, or set up procedure for others to use? It is both easier, and harder than you think! Come stop by to learn how to shape our organization, and the campaigns we take on.
