Tomorrow will be a very rare event. Usually volunteers show up for a campaign and get used for cheap labor. They are not taught the how and why of what they are doing. Why was this neighborhood selected for canvassing? What timeframe is most effective for an advertising blitz? What metrics do the professionals use to determine whether their efforts are effective? How are the data reports used from their phone banking feedback forms? and so forth.
The presentation time for the consultants is quite short. Most of the time has been reserved for questions from YOU! This workshop is unique in that it is geared not just towards candidates but the “little people” aka the grassroots to learn how to get their issues prioritized by consultants and candidates.
ALSO this is a premium opportunity to ask consultant questions you don’t normally get to ask like, “What are the ways that consultants rip off their customers and how can I protect myself?” The fact that this email has been sent to all candidates in the US running for office in 2026 means that answers to questions may come not just from the featured speakers but from the community itself .
A lot of candidates TALK about “empowering the workers” but this often does not hold true when it comes to their own campaign staff.
A google meet link will be sent to those that register for the event on our Eventbrite page by tomorrow at 8 AM EST. The event is tomorrow at 2 PM EST and features an all-star lineup. I encourage you to look up the presenters yourself.
This event is not designed just for candidates who cycle in and out of the movement but also for grassroots activists whose work endures across many election cycles.
Can’t wait? Below is a video I filmed sharing my thoughts on the unreported increasing prevalence of NDAs in campaign work.
