Organizing 2.0

When: 
December 5, 2009
Where: 
Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies, New York City

Is online organizing really ‘organizing’? That’s a challenging question for those of us from a labor or community organizing background. That said, online organizing has received a lot of positive attention recently in connection with the presidential elections. What does this mean for our organizations? What skills do we need to share to make the most of no-longer-new online tools for our campaigns in New York?

Registration is now open. Tickets are $15.

Registration on the day of the event will be $20.

Contest Scoring Sheet for a Community Building Initiative, PINK House

[node-title]

This scoring sheet was designed to engage community members in learning more about their community and the organization. Designed by Renae Smack of Pink House in Charleston, SC, residents were challenged in a fun way and the winners received prizes. In the “My House, My Street, My Community” campaign, residents received points for home improvements (with pictures), bringing a friend to community meeting, and participating in a phone-tree.
