Dear friend, We're building a movement against the most intricate infrastructure of political influence in the country. The bad news? This means having to track and expose hundreds of Koch-funded university programs, think-tanks, advocacy organizations, legislators, and judges working at the local, state, and federal levels. Yikes! The good news? We can learn skills to make this work a little easier, and there are incredible researchers doing a lot of this work for us already! To learn these skills, join our upcoming "Researching the Koch Network 101" webinar next Tuesday at 2pm ET! | |
Next week we're bringing in David Armiak, Research Director at the Center for Media and Democracy, to teach us how to better incorporate opposition research into our campus and community-based campaigns. On this webinar, participants will: - Become more familiar with the universities, state-based think-tanks, advocacy organizations, and legislators involved in moving Koch's agenda forward;
- Learn about the research and resources that already exists to inform and deepen your local campaigns;
- Receive an overview of basic opposition research skills experts use to conduct investigations and connect the dots;
- Identify ways to leverage research produced by UnKoch's partners to inform your grassroots base and escalate your local campaigns!
This webinar is designed with campus AND community advocates in mind. Whether you're trying to kick Koch off of your campus or wanting to deepen your local or state-based advocacy by targeting Koch, this webinar is for you. Register to join us next Tuesday at 2pm ET! | |
In solidarity, Samantha Parsons | |
UnKoch My Campus is a cooperative campaign dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm. | |
