Free Grassroots training with Jesse Jackson Jr

From Prairie Blue State...
During the last six months of our work around the country, it became evident to us that potential activists who lived in cities did not have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art political training. At 21st Century Democrats we believe that an essential component to Get-Out-the-Vote activities in urban areas is a trained force of people in precincts and wards who know how to speak to voters in their neighborhoods. We have been fortunate to work in partnership with Congressmen Jesse Jackson, Jr. & Alderman Sandi Jackson in Chicago to train activists in their communities.

Our plans call for training 500 urban activists in field skills such as targeting, door-to-door communications, canvassing, data collection and analysis, message development and other important elements for winning elections. We're excited about the political potential of all the people who have signed-up for these trainings. We look forward to working with everyone in the coming days and, of course, we strongly believe that these efforts will make our cities a better place to live in with equality for all.

Chicago, Illinois, with Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Time and Date: 9 - 4pm, Saturday, August 2nd and 12 - 3pm Sunday Aug. 3rd
Venue: 1925 East 96th St; Chicago, Illinois
The training is free and you can RSVP here
