From Occupy To Organize:
A series of workshops, presented by long-time community organizers from a wide background, to give activists the skills we need to build a truly popular movement!
Part I: Saturday, February 18* 2pm-5pm
Community Church of Boston
565 Boylston St #2
Boston, MA
Copley Green Line T stop
*Part II is March 10 at 2pm.
You must preregister for this workshop at http://www.popularassembly.org/.
- Join the conversation about expanding participation in our movements.
- Discuss ways we can work together to engage more people through tried and true organizing tactics such as story sharing, listening campaigns, door-to-door outreach, one-on-ones and house meetings.
- Find out about ways Occupy activists have moved beyond Facebook activism to face-to-face relationship building based on solidarity through common struggles.
- Learn about effective collaborations between the Occupy Movement and organizing projects and the development of organizing practices that support grassroots leadership of those most affected by economic, racial and social injustice.
- Share success stories about your grassroots organizing that have reached beyond activist circles.
Prior trainings have provided Occupy Boston activists with a participatory strategy and a campaign development process that built organizing capacity and turned activists into local organizers. For many of the Occupy activists, it was their first time organizing more broadly instead of focusing on event or action mobilizations. Whether you’re a seasoned organizer or an Occupier looking to learn new organizing tactics, please join us on Saturday!
