Organizing 101 is BACK this year with a brand new four-part series. Sessions take place on Wednesday evenings from 6:30–8:00 starting on Oct 21 in SW Detroit (RSVP for the address). Stay after each session to meet organizers and brainstorm your own organizing campaigns.

Sessions cover the following topics:

• Session 1: What Makes a Good Issue / Structured Organizing Conversations
  
  Learn how to identify an issue that is widely felt and winnable. Then, learn how to talk to people affected by that issue using DSA’s organizing conversation structure to build the base of your campaign.

• Session 2: Identifying Leaders / Power Mapping
  
  Learn how to identify the best leaders for your organizing campaign, then how to map power structures within your campaign’s focus. Mapping these structures will better equip your base to fight together and win.

• Sessions 3 and 4: Labor Organizing and Community Organizing
  
  Join these sessions to see Organizing 101 in action! Hear about the campaign to remove Flock cameras from Ferndale and the 2018 teacher red state revolt from  DSA members who participated in them. In each session, we’ll apply ideas from the first two sessions each step of the way and learn what organizers did to mobilize, change conditions, and win!

Pizza and refreshments will be provided at each event. See you there!
