Hello everyone,
Thank you to all of you who joined us earlier this week for the 2022 CAT Campaign Launch. It was wonderful to see so many returning faces, and we’re excited to meet new people too!
Here are the Recording and Slides from the launch with resources linked, and some next steps below.
Immediate next steps for interested volunteers:
-
If you are interested in volunteering with the CAT campaign this year, please join us for an upcoming Onboarding + Relationship Building meeting. We’ll walk through the CAT Volunteer Guide including our Google drive, Slack spaces, who to get support from and what upcoming trainings will look like. We’ll begin to build connections between volunteers and create room for people to ask questions and express interest in various roles. We’ll also talk through what we mean by Relationship Building, and how together, we can hold relationships in a good way for this campaign. Please choose either meeting time:
-
Wed Oct 6th @ 11am-12:30pm — Register here

Thurs Oct 14th @ 4:30-6pm — Register here

For those of you who expressed interest in getting involved in the Action Writing/Comms team, we will be meeting to begin strategizing our work this year. We’ll review last year’s work and brainstorm how to improve and expand our work this year. Bring your creative ideas!
