All too often, when none of the candidates we have to choose from on the ballot offer solutions to our problems, we choose between the lesser of two evils. This is no accident. When corporations back both horses in a race, they always win. But sometimes if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. If you’ve ever considered running, or know quality person you’d like to see in office, Michigan People’s Campaign wants to help you prepare.
We’re launching a candidate and campaigner training program in partnership with Sierra Club and People’s Action. The Movement Politics Academy is recruiting and training an army of movement politics leaders that’s more reflective of our society: people of color, women, and working class people. We need YOU!
Start your political career by coming to a deep-dive, fundraising training. We’ll explore:
* campaign fundraising
* compliance
* stump speech writing
* the Movement Politics worldview.
You’ll learn how to raise money and position yourself during the snowy winter months so you can hit the ground running once the 2018 campaign season starts and attend our 5 day candidate training to go deeper into field, communication, endorsements adn other compents of your campaign .
This December training will take place on Friday December 15th from 6-9pm and continue on Saturday, December 16th from 10am-6pm. This is a 1.5 day training and participants are expected to be at both days. The training is by ticket only, and is first come first serve. The link to buy tickets is above!
