John,
A friend once told me, “People like us never think about running for office and that’s the problem.”
That’s exactly why we created the Rooted in Community Campaign School, an in-person program to train progressive candidates running for local or state office.
Our Campaign School focuses on training women of color and BIPOC candidates with the lived experience needed to serve our communities. This month-long course, which will take place over five Saturdays in February and March, is completely free and will train the leaders of tomorrow, today.
While we budgeted for training 15 candidates, we received a record number of applicants and would love to expand this year’s Campaign School further. The cost per trainee is just $400, which means that every donation, whether it’s $5 or $400, goes a long way toward training future leaders to run for office.
Click here to donate today and power our Rooted in Community Campaign School to train working-class candidates with the lived experience to represent their communities.
We’ll train candidates on the fundamentals of running a grassroots campaign from communications to field work to fundraising, and more―and we’ll ensure that each of these campaign strategies is rooted in community and reflects the needs of each candidate’s district, whether they’re running for local or statewide office.
With a record number of Campaign School applicants, can you donate today to help us expand our Rooted in Community Campaign School beyond 15 trainees?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
If this past election taught us anything, it’s that we need more candidates who understand the needs of voters―and too often, everyday people don’t have the knowledge or resources to run for office and represent their communities.
Join us and help shape the future of our communities together,
Rashida Tlaib
