Campaign Building: A Four-Hour Training
With Nichola Torbett
September 28, 2025
This training shows you how to take a big, amorphous problem–for example, rising fascism in the US–and break it into a more discrete issue with a concrete demand and a campaign strategy behind it. We will cover issue cutting, spectrum of allies, power mapping, and base building, working with a real issue that your group comes up with in the training.
Registration is offered on a sliding scale, and scholarships are available. Please get in touch if the low end of the scale is out of reach, and likewise, if you can, please register at a higher rate and/or donate to our Equity fund to ensure that everyone has access.
We will gather in person at the beautiful Kirkridge Retreat & Study Center. Exact location will be available following registration.
