I'm going to need help from all of you in order to make this happen. I don't have many or any contacts for most of these organizations. If I added you to this group, it is because I know that you do, and collectively, we can work together to make a great event that will bring us together, and send our visitors home with something to feel proud about. And have them leaving our event with more knowledge and tools to help be better activists.
I want the most important part of this event to be classes. I listed these classes under the event page, but will re-post them here.
We are hoping to provide several classes for activists at this event. Here are some examples of what we may be offering:
1. Political Candidate Training - How to win an election
2. Media Training - Joining the Twitter Revolution
3. Engaging your legislature - how to propose a bill
4. Maintaining your movement - The importance of mailing lists
5. Committees of Correspondence - keeping your movement informed
Please feel free to add your ideas to this group. We have some time till the event, but I'd really like to get the ball rolling now so we can be better prepared and far less stressed during the actual event.
