The attention of decision-makers, volunteers, and donors is in high demand. Campaigns that rise to the top are told through stories that connect to shared values.
Raising awareness and putting out press releases is rarely enough. Winning campaigns in our media-saturated world requires people power.

"Without the support from Organize BC, Dogwood’s organizing network would be years behind where they are now."
Celine Trojand
Former Director of Organizing, Dogwood BC
Now more than ever our movement needs the skills to navigate intersectional coalitions and spaces. This means understanding our privilege, being aware of how we interact with others, shifting our own behaviour, and changing how our campaigns show up in communities.
In Inclusive Movement-Building we will begin to explore how racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism and other systems of oppression can show up in our social movements, and provide tools to support organizers in building more inclusive movements -- by understanding our own relationships to systems of oppression, and learning practical skills to make spaces more inclusive.
On modern social change campaigns field organizing and digital organizing have merged. We meet supporters both at their doorstep and on their smartphone. If you come to Digital Campaigning, you’ll learn how to design digital engagement strategies to engage your supporters using a full range of digital tools: petitions, social media, email blasts, surveys, texting, and more. You’ll learn how to write compelling emails and social media posts to move your supporters to action, and how to optimize your digital campaigns to bring the widest possible audience to your actions. You can expect to leave with a to-do list to make your digital work more effective, and a deeper understanding of how to use digital tools.
