Do you ever feel frustrated with politics as usual? Does it seem to you that the media pundits and Washington DC elites have lost touch with the concerns of everyday people? Do you sometimes think that the voices of common folks are drowned out by the big money of special interests?
If so, you have an opportunity to do something about it! The Democratic Party of Oregon and Organizing for America are teaming up to host an intensive half-day training on community organizing and leadership skills. The training will be held on Saturday, May 7, from 10 am to 3 pm in Hoke Hall Room 301 at Eastern Oregon University.
The training will cover everything you need to become an effective community leader, volunteer, and grassroots activist. The purpose is to empower people to organize in their own communities to better their lives and the lives of those around them. Topics include principles of organizing, building effective teams, tapping into social networks, recruiting and retaining active volunteers, crafting effective messages, and reaching out to other constituencies.
Better still, the training is FREE! But space is limited and going fast. So please register now at http://bit.ly/EasternOregonTraining.
