The strength of our movement for Medicare for All is determined by the power of our on-the-ground organizing in communities across the country.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that the application is live for our second Medicare for All Leadership School – a two-month program beginning mid-September, to help train leaders in our movement become even more effective organizers.
If you have any friends or family you think should apply as well, please share the application with them! People of color, women, and those with firsthand experience of our broken healthcare system are encouraged to apply.
Our first Leadership School earlier this year was such a big success, and we’re excited to launch the second session. Here’s what some of our graduates from the Spring 2021 class had to say about their experience:
I could not recommend the NNU Leadership School more highly. I was valued as a participant, encouraged and provided relevant, well-produced and presented training, [as well as] time to strategize with other organizers and hands-on practice. - Linda
The knowledge that we learned from the Medicare For All School was invaluable. From organizing strategy to participating in the Medicare For All week of action, this school covered the key points of the cause. I came out of the school more passionate and revitalized to continue the fight for Medicare For All. - Richy
The Leadership School not only taught me skills on how to organize my community, but it also allowed me to meet dozens of wonderful people who have a deep passion for Medicare for All. I now feel confident in my ability to lead events that will help achieve Medicare for All. - Tanner
Leadership Training like I’ve never seen before! …. Not only did I gain invaluable organizing skills specific to health care, but I also met dozens of fellow grassroots Medicare for All activists from across the country who have taught me the value of solidarity. - Briana
The more people we have with a clear local plan of action, fighting for Medicare for All in their communities – the more quickly and effectively we’ll win.
It’s people like you – stepping up to talk to your neighbors, plan actions, join car caravans, meet with your representatives, and so much more – who have gotten us to where we are today.
This course will take your skills to the next level, growing and developing your confidence as an organizer for the long haul. You’ll get trainings, workshops, be part of group projects, and get to implement what you’ve learned in a hands-on way with the direct support of our staff. And, you’ll make lots of new friends and movement allies who are just like you!
The school will require a time commitment of roughly 5 hours per week, and you must be able to participate through the duration of the course, which will start in mid-September and go through mid-November.
Excited to get started.
