Lead Locally is holding a free, virtual, six-part training series for people interested in running for office, campaign staff, and campaign supporters.

Want to level up your electoral organizing skills? If you’re considering running for office, already have your plans in place, hope to support or staff a climate candidate’s campaign, or are just figuring out how to engage with the upcoming elections – we want you to apply! We understand that climate might not be the top public message in every district, and if that’s the case where you live, this training is also for you.

During the training, we’ll cover the mechanics of planning and executing an election campaign, as well as climate messaging and the opportunities to pass local climate policy. Each training will end with a panel discussion with local elected officials to discuss real world application of the training content and answer questions.

Sessions will cover:

1: Narrative strategy & campaign messaging
2: Campaign planning & voter targeting
3: Climate policy & climate messaging
4: Voter contact & persuasion
5: Fundraising & campaign budgets
6: Digital & social media for campaigns
