Nationwide
This year marks the 5th annual RootsCamp “unconference” where organizers set the agenda, share lessons learned and drive the conversation about best practices in organizing. RootsCamps aren’t top-down, panel-led conferences. They are “unconferences” led by the people who attend — like you — who want to talk about organizing and running campaigns in a whole new way. It’s a place to share the stories, successes and lessons of our organizing from a truly local perspective. You’ll hear directly from the field staff, data managers, and new media gurus, as well as the campaign managers and consultants, so that we can all replicate our successes and avoid repeating the failures in our next campaigns.
Click here to see where the RootsCamp is being held in your state!

The training will cover it all—from the basics of voter registration and encouraging your friends to get to the polls to the skills necessary to join progressive campaigns working to defeat the so-called “fetal personhood” amendment and the dangerous Tabor initiatives.
We’re looking for young activists across Colorado to join this training and speak out for justice. So, join us and youth organizers like yourself on September 18, 2010 from 9 am – 6 pm in Denver (location TBD) for Youth the Vote Training.
