The Awaken America will host an American Majority Activist Training Series on How the Left Does It, with the second event will be held on Thursday, November 10th in the Schaumburg Library large meeting room (130 S Roselle Rd).

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.
