The Activist Training will include the following topics:
- How the Left Does It: GOTV: This presentation provides a description of the GOTV operations of ACORN and SEIU. We highlight the preexisting political infrastructure that operates and grows year-round, linking local issues and concerns to state or national candidates, precinct captains, etc. Coalitions (particularly between ACORN and ProjectVote) use simple tactics such as door knocking for real results.
- How the Left Does It: Precinct Work: This presentation provides a description of ACORN and SEIUʼs precinct-based strategies with a focus on ACORNʼs APALs volunteer program. Weʼll highlight the importance of year-round voter outreach, particularly once a month block walking. Strategic points also include precinct micro-targeting and voter registration.
Discussion on applicable tools will follow presentation.
