Political Training for Victory in 2012
November 9, 2011
We have been through a lot since our founding only three short years ago. We’ve trained almost 20,000 people, in over 44 states, and have quickly grown to become one of the most trusted grassroots political training groups in the country. Much of our success is due to the amazing people around this country that woke up from their political apathy and began to take back their government, pursuing trainings, education, and experience in local government. With major elections just around the corner in 2012, we knew we had to do all we can to assist as many local groups as we could. That is why we are making sweeping changes through out American Majority, and creating even more great content for you to use as you volunteer, organize, and run for political office.
In order to prepare candidates seeking office in 2012, their campaign staff, and the armies of activist volunteers behind them, we have put together a potent set of training sessions, manuals, and online resources.
Candidates
Running for office is no small feat. But American Majority is here to help. First-time candidates trained by American Majority have been elected at nearly all levels of state and local government. And we have taken our proven training program to the next level. Our expert faculty of former campaign staffers break down everything you need to know to run for office. From determining the message of your campaign to developing the plan, American Majority training leaves no i undotted. Further, American Majority training for campaign staff equips them to handle everything from scheduling and precinct work, to media relations and volunteer management.
Activists
Whether you’re supporting a candidate, slate, or issue, American Majority training gives you the tools necessary to be effective. We have gone back to the drawing board and nearly doubled our existing curriculum. Taking from the Left’s playbook, our brand new series “How the Left Does It” cracks open the ACORN community organizing manual. By learning their plays, we can mount an effective defense and beat them at their own game. We’ve broken down the concepts of precinct organizing, GOTV, and election integrity to make it even more accessible for groups of all size and mission.
Online
We understand better than anyone the power possessed by effective online organization. To help you navigate this constantly changing landscape, American Majority has produced all new editions of the guides and video resources you have trusted before. Further, we have launched a brand-new online training webinar series. No matter if you’ve never logged on to Twitter.com or if you need advice about plug-ins for your new blog, our expert faculty will be there to guide you every step of the way. But unlike our standard trainings, you’ll be able to attend from the comfort of your home.
On-Campus
In 2008, college campuses proved to be a powerful source of volunteers, donors and campaign staff. This fall, American Majority has traveled to college campuses all across the country to work with liberty-minded students, providing them the tools necessary to organize for freedom and be effective in their communities. In the spring, we will host even more trainings geared for students who are interested in serving as campaign staff.
