Training to Win 2008

by Grassroots Leadership Summit

Are you a blue-county Democrat who’s interested in supporting Democrats running for office in “red” areas? Maybe you’ve considered volunteering, but weren’t sure how effective you’d be?
Join us on Saturday, May 17, for a few hours and learn what it’s all about. Hear from Bay Area people who’ve volunteered in rural campaigns and from rural people who welcome the support. Katherine Forrest’s widely praised “Talking Politics” workshop can help you become a better communicator. You can also sharpen your skills in workshops on voter registration, phone banking, and canvassing, led by experienced political activists.
Learn how to make your volunteer time count, as you help out fellow Dems around California and in crucial swing states. We can elect some great candidates this year!
It’ll be a fun day—please plan to join in!
