We've faced plenty of "no's": "No, you can't win in Midland." "No, the Dem Party won't help you." "No, you'll never turn Republicans blue." But we flipped those to YES! We believed because there was no better option. 💪🌊

Sarah & I have seen our organizing community come together through tough times: COVID, floods & everything happening in the world. We've learned to not just organize politically but to support each other during personal crises. We all need each other. 💪❤️ #OrganizingTips #CommunityBuilding

Social media is essential for organizing. It helps us create connections, share info, and mobilize our communities. While it has its challenges, meaningful movements thrive through these platforms.

Don't just show up for a photo op! If you're not there to help, your presence can do more harm than good. Be intentional in your actions! 🤝 #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance #Intentional

Sarah and Jennifer embody a growth mindset. No ask is too big! Remember, saying no or meeting halfway doesn’t mean you should limit your vision. There’s always more to achieve—more funds, more volunteers, more voters, and more progress! 💪✨

Every community requires a tailored approach to organizing and outreach. Similarly, each volunteer may have unique needs. Embracing flexibility is essential for any successful initiative!

We know you're busy, and some people will be understanding, but if you don't follow up, it looks like you don't care. If there is too much on your plate, consider delegating this or another responsibility to a volunteer so ALL the tasks get done!
#OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance #FollowUp
Easier said than done! 🗣️ Silence leaves a gap for opposition, while over-messaging shows you only care about one thing. Balance is key: address all your positions, highlight priorities & respond to attacks. The days of "let it blow over" are over!

MI county parties & clubs can access NGP VAN thru MI Dem Party for targeted outreach! 💪 Check what’s available in your state. Campaigns can access for 💰, and if funds are tight, do online research. Be strategic with your 💰 & ⌛!

Voters respect a person who will stand up for what they believe, even if it doesn't match the voter's priorities. But when we learn something new, we have to be willing to change and explain WHY!
Being strong on an issue? 💯Being bullheaded? 👎

Sarah & Jennifer talk a lot about Transformational Relationships. If people feel you only want something, they won't be invested in the movement or campaign. Make those connections real & volunteers will be in it for the long haul! 💪🌊💙
#OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance
Wear you're heart on your sleeve! 💖But sometimes . . . leave the politics at home. If people think that's ALL we care about, it makes it harder to connect. Mix being forthright with just being . . . you. Authenticity matters! 🙌🌊
#OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance #ShowUp
Park clean-up, food drive, soccer fundraiser, parade, etc. Show that you are not just politics. Community leaders lead in all spaces, not just elections or their specific issue. Build trust through involvement.
#OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance #Community #Leadership
Knowing volunteers on a personal level helps you find their best magic. What are they interested in? What are their skills? AND being friends or at least friendly, means everyone feels invested in the movement!

Sarah & Jennifer talk about transformational instead of transactional. If people think you want something, you're not making connection. But if they feel you're part of the community & they're part of the movement, then it becomes transformational!

There are always more volunteers, more donations, and more votes. You just have to go after them.

Volunteers will come back again and again if they feel they are part of something, not just an expendable resource. Besides, we all feel better when we are a family unit! Making friends wasn't just a skill they wanted you to learn in school.

Social media, REACH, VAN, Google Folders & more can help you do more w/ less. If you want to grow & scale your organization or movement, digital technology is a must. Find what works for you! This is where a young person can utilize skills older members don't have yet.

Making connections is vital to the growth of any movement or campaign. If you feel uncomfortable introducing yourself, ask a friend who knows them to do it. It can give you more legitimacy and open that door a little wider if you have a mutual acquaintance.
#OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance
Working together can be hard, even when you agree on almost everything! For any campaign or organization to thrive, everyone needs to master the skills of forgiveness, humility, and kindness. Save the fight for the other side!

Call us data nerds, but we use numbers to figure out where we've made progress, where we need more work, if a precinct is on the verge of flipping, etc. Keep track of EVERTHING you can from turnout to door knocking to election results. Info helps you target & be strategic!
#Data #OrganizingTips
When making connections or gathering supporters, think also about what you can do for them. Relationships should go both ways and we are all working towards the same goals. Let's make sure we are helping each other to meet them.
