Community Organizing 101 is a deep dive into the basics of grassroots organizing, political campaigns, and moderated dialogue. The easiest part of grassroots organizing is finding others who stand for the cause you do. We’ll show you how to turn that passion into action and action into real results by using the concept of Theory of Change to help you develop and prioritize actions in your community.

During the presentation, we will break out into groups for a hands-on experience putting what you have learned into practice. The instructor will guide you and provide constructive feedback to assure you have the foundation for creating the political outcome you want.

**SPACE IS LIMITED**
