Sustaining Democracy: Reaching Powerfully for Disengaged Voters
Voting can be a powerful tactic for our social change movements. However, many people feel discouraged about its impact and are reluctant to vote for candidates who do not share all of their values. We will discuss ways to reach disengaged voters. We will learn how to help people reclaim voting as a powerful social change tactic and defend and expand democracy together.
In this workshop we will:
- Create safe spaces to talk, listen and support each other
- Share stories and strategies about reaching effectively for disengaged voters
- Introduce practices and tools that participants can take with them to maintain their sense of hope, excitement and determination around defending and expanding democracy and reaching for fellow voters
Optional one hour listening circle follows.
