ICL is training hundreds of activists online using the Zoom video conferencing platform, and excited to share a new online interactive workshop series, teaching you how to strategize and choose tactics that build power and move decision-makers.
Strategy - June 1, 6-8 pm EST
How to identify decision-makers and map power in your communities, create a theory of change and choose a winning strategy.
Tactics - June 8, 6-8 pm EST
How to create a campaign timeline, a series of nested goals, with smart tactics, for an organizing project you are working on.
Organizing is about power: who has it, who doesn’t, and how to build enough of it to shift power relationships and bring about change. It can be difficult to figure out what you can do, what you have to work towards, and what is just not reasonable or realistic at this moment. This is where strategy and tactics come in.
You will learn through interactive lectures and partnered activities that will allow you to practice the skills we teach online. You will work with experienced organizers, who will facilitate your break-out groups and help practice your skills. You will finish the course ready to plan your organizing project's strategy and tactics.
Cost:
Organization: $250 per session per person
Individual: $50 per session
