The club is pleased to be offering “Activism 101” at its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, April 21. Activism 101 is a free, one-hour (ish) webinar for people of varying levels of experience with activism and/or political action. It’s for folks who’ve never helped win *any* election, and for those who merely need a refresher on what actions work best. It’s a survey course with one goal: to give those who are frightened and anxious about the state of our country simple, bite-sized actions that they can take to help hold the House, expand the Senate, win down-ballot races, and basically make good things happen in November and beyond.
The program is offered by Jessica Craven, a mom, veteran activist, elected member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, TikTok creator, and author of the daily political action email “Chop Wood, Carry Water.”
In the workshop, Craven will go over several forms of “entry-level” actions, like post-carding, letter writing, text and friend banking, micro-fundraising, making SMART donations, phone-banking, and canvassing, and she will address some of the fears that keep us from doing these things. She’ll also explain why each and every person’s actions DO matter. Finally, she’ll give each participant a google doc packed with resources and opportunities to volunteer. The idea is for each participant to leave feeling empowered and clear on at least one small thing that they can – and will! – do to help us win in November.
Join the Democratic Club of Kent County via Zoom for this event – we’ll open the Zoom doors at 6:30 pm for a social time and a brief business meeting – the main program starts at 7:00. Club members will receive the link – others please request the Zoom link at info@dckcmd.com – see you there!
