Feeling overwhelmed by our political system? Want to create change but not sure how to organize? Interested in advocating for the issues that matter to you, but not sure how to do it effectively? Or maybe you just want some new tactics for your tool box for your great local activist group? This training can help!

Birddogging is a powerful activist tactic that puts decision-makers on the spot—in public, in person, and often on camera—with clear, inescapable questions that demand real answers. As candidates gear up for the midterm elections and hold hundreds of public events seeking our support, this advanced Zoom training will teach you how small groups of ordinary people have made real change simply by showing up and making targeted demands. We’ll break down how to craft “bullet-proof” requests that win the room, force clarity, and are extremely difficult for candidates to dodge—whether you’re perceived as a friend or a foe. If you’ve ever spoken up at a town hall, school committee meeting, or political event, you already have birddogging experience; this training will help you sharpen it to secure real commitments from candidates and elected officials for the world we’re fighting for.
