DescOrganizing, Advocacy, and Lobbying: When supporters recruited through the digital program are ready to take action, the Organization brings them into their national digital volunteer network. Our network enables activists to communicate with one another and learn about the policies and politics of the reform field. This national community provides online trainings and skills-building workshops, including traditional organizing skills like phone banking, event planning, and writing letters to the editor. The Organization also offers opportunities for activists to learn new media content development, text-banking, online fundraising, and the steps involved in passing a non-binding resolution in their own community.Desc
