Organizing is a long term approach to developing power as a community. It looks beyond policy campaigns, election cycles, and individual leaders to consider how those most impacted by issues can be meaningfully involved, for the long haul, in identifying problems, creating real solutions, and moving us towards the conditions that actually transform our communities.
Join PWN for a 6-part webinar training series on basic grassroots organizing skills, including strategies to build an effective, mobilized base led by Black and brown people, folks of trans experience, low-income communities, and people living with HIV.
The webinar series is open to all.
You should plan to participate in all parts of the series, as they build on each other. Sessions will be recorded, but you will gain the most by participating in real time.
Content will include history of successful organizing campaigns; grassroots organizing basics; developing and engaging new leaders; door-knocking training; building your list and base; and addressing conflict through courageous conversations.
Each 90-minute session will be held on Saturday at 12pm ET/11am CT/10am MT/9am PT on the following dates:
June 29th
July 13th
July 27th
August 10th
August 24th
September 14th

Powerful messaging from PWN and NMAV
I think this is a good idea. I will try to be on each one. Some of the days I will be traveling but will try to be still for the session. Looking forward to training with my sisters and community. We are the Village.
I think this be really good. I do alot with my sister at dress. Know i got sisters from hete. I think this is wonderful can’t wait.
A block party! Sounds like a great way to get back to work. I am still not a 100%. I have been dealing with some serious depression. I have to do something to feel useful again. PWN saved me once and I know my sisters are all just an email away. Thank you all for your kind words and patience with me. Anyway we have to much work to do to allow this dark depression to consume me any longer.
Yes this is a awesome idea the only problem I have is transportation I will reach out to pwn sisters and see if any of them are coming
This is an online training, so no transportation is necessary! 🙂
Wonderful! I will do my best to join by phone. What a great idea.
This is a fantastic idea, for all participants. Looking forward to it.
We Are In It 2 Win It!!! Change, like recovery from a medical procedure, doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process. One thing for me to remember is “time waits for no-one.” 2020 is rapidly approaching. I am excited to be a part of The Movement for change…it will ONLY work if WE All work it. Putting differences aside no matter how big or how small and directing my attention to The Goal (no distractions) equates to stress less. After all guys, Sweet Honey in the Rock says it best…”We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!” Peace.
Looking forward to it!
