***Democracy NC: Volunteer organizing and voter registration training ***
Got this in my email from Democracy North Carolina this morning. Bold is mine. If you feel this is a good fit for you, sign up! You can only help!
Dear supernova,
We’re excited to announce the agenda for our regional Operation Jumpstart the Vote leadership trainings to be held next Saturday, February 22! We also have plenty of activities planned in the Triangle before the April 11th voter registration deadline.
See below for more information about upcoming voter outreach events, including phonebanks in Chapel Hill this weekend.
Click here to take a look at the 2/22 training agenda.
Click here to register for the Raleigh Training. Space is limited.
Is the training for me?
As you can see from the agenda, we’ll be going in-depth on a variety of proven voter engagement tactics. The trainings will be both informative and interactive and the goal is this: leaders, like you, will leave this training with both a plan and the knowledge you need to create successful local voter outreach projects.
We’re limiting these free trainings to people who are ready to take a stronger leadership role in their community. That means leading a local voter engagement project, i.e. recruiting volunteers, managing the logistics, keeping records, etc.
If you do see yourself as a project leader but cannot make it to the training on February 22, you can check out our DIY: Do-It-Yourself Guide to get started on a local project. If you are not and do not want to be a project leader, don’t worry. See below and continue to check the Jumpstart Calendar for events you can join.
