350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Hi Jeanne,

Have you invited members of your group to Get Ready for the Revolution? If not, now is the time–the first training is next week! These trainings will help prepare members of your local group to face the increasingly chaotic election season with resiliency and power. Each two-hour session will be led by an experienced trainer from a local 350 group, in coordination with 350.org US.

Here’s the training lineup:

• Tuesday, Sep. 15: Keeping Healthy and Safe at Protest (corrected time: 4-6pm PT / 7-9pm ET): Learn how to be mentally and physically prepared for being on the streets protesting — great for folks who are new to protest and direct action!
• Saturday, Sep. 26: Remote Organizing and Volunteer Engagement 101 (11am – 1 pm PT / 2-4 pm ET): Learn how to maximize remote organizing and engage new volunteers now and following the election.
• Saturday, Oct. 10: Digital Organizing 101 (11am-1pm PT / 2-4pm ET): Learn digital organizing basics, best practices and tools, and get tips on email and social media strategy.
• Saturday, Nov. 21: Grassroots Year End Fundraising (11am-1pm PT / 2-4pm ET): Learn how to plan your group’s end of year fundraising campaign. We’ll share lessons, templates and info on crowdsourcing.

Consider this an opportunity for new and more experienced volunteers in your group to learn or hone skills that can boost the effectiveness and sustainability of your group! It will also be a chance to connect with members of other local 350 groups across the country.

Here is a one page flyer, here is a promotional toolkit with sample email and social media posts, and here is the link to register (now updated with the November training).

Stay safe and keep organizing,
