The Green Dog group is planning some exciting trainings for progressive activists this summer and fall. If you are involved in protecting wetlands or open space, fighting for rent control in your town, or just trying to get a stop sign at a dangerous corner, this is for you. Learn the techniques for lobbying your elected officials, building a coalition of neighbors and other concerned citizens in your town. And consider running for office yourself.
Remember, this is an off year in California, but it's the right time to plan your run in 2024. We can help with all of that, including fundraising tips, the one thing all candidates hate to do, but the one that is most crucial to any successful campaign.
If your grassroots organizing campaign involves meeting with State legislators, holding large rallies, or even making signs to wave at the meetings, you can benefit from these tips too. We've created petition drives, lobbying expeditions to Sacramento in caravans of buses, and sent out informative mailers for our clients and our own passion projects. And we've helped progressive candidates get elected to office all over California.
Learn the techniques that gain the right kind of attention and that work. Topics to include:
Building your coalition and naming your group
Fundraising for change
Honing your message
Lobbying techniques for State and local officials
Running a petition drive
Recalls and referendums
More fundraising
Running for office (yikes!)
And more! (Stay tuned for further information)
