Community Action Training in Oakland & NYC

The three-day training provides entry-level organizer training to individuals, staff, and members of community and labor organizations through fieldwork, role plays, and discussions. During this high-intensity three-day training, CAT participants learn how to door-knock as a tool for recruiting and mobilizing constituents, participate in campaign development and actions, and learn to appreciate the legacy of organizing in communities of color and its relevance in today's fight for social justice. Learn from experienced organizers, share skills and knowledge with other activists, and have fun meeting others dedicated to building a movement for social justice!
