Workshop #3 — Sunday May 8, 2022: LINKS for Zoom and the handouts

I’m looking forward to Workshop #3 NEXT SUNDAY MAY 8, 2022.  Workshop #3 is titled, “Organizing 101:  Basic Nuts & Bolts of Grassroots Organizing.”  Besides a lot of practical suggestions to make your organizing more effective, this workshop also helps you understand interconnections among issues and some other useful  insights.

The 1:30 (Pacific Time) session will pertain to a variety of issues.  The 5:00 (Pacific Time) session will ESPECIALLY FOCUS ON BUILDING A MOVEMENT TO ABOLISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Each 2-hour workshop in this 6-part series (“Nonviolent Grassroots Organizing”) includes a lot of substantive information, inspiration, and practical usefulness.  Each workshop is supplemented with some of the best resources I have gathered (and many that I have written) in the past 50 years.

Unlike school “homework” assignments that are mandatory, these are not mandatory, but I do enthusiastically encourage each participant to read these because they flesh out the substance of each workshop.  You will probably want to save some of these for later use, because they are that practical.

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S READINGS:
