Grand Rapids, MI Activist Training

February 26, 2010

Our nation was founded by ordinary citizen activists desiring a government that was accountable to the people.  Today, ordinary citizens across our nation are tired of the status quo and ready to engage for the betterment of their communities. American Majority’s political training addresses these passions by providing education and resources to help you meet your goals.

American Majority Minnesota and Americans for Prosperity-Michigan are pleased to announce that an Activist Training will be conducted on Thursday, April 8 in Grand Rapids, MI to provide citizens with the tools necessary to become effective activists.

The political training will take place at the Western Michigan Graduate Center located at 2333 E. Beltline Ave. SE in Grand Rapids from 6:30 to 9:30pm.  Registration opens at 6:00pm.  The cost is $20 if you pre-register online by Wednesday, April 7 and $30 at the door.  Space is limited.  Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.

Topics* to be covered during the Training include:

  • Building Coalitions and Reaching Your Community (ideas and practical steps to engage your community and organize a coalition of volunteers)
  • Government 101 (how government operates, how legislative and executive bodies work, how to get involved)
  • Holding Government Accountable (how to hold leaders accountable once they are in office)
  • Effectively Communicating Your Views (how to write effective letters to the editor, opinion editorials and blogs, using social networking tools and wiki projects)
