DFA Night School is our interactive, online training program. In this session, we will discuss strategies to build progressive coalitions in order to gain influence with elected officials. There are lots of groups out there doing good work. SEIU Organizer Ben Monterroso will join us for a session on how can we build coalitions so that these groups are working in concert with each other instead of competing.
The workshop will start at 8:30pm Eastern Time and continue for approximately one hour. It will consist of a conference call with an accompanying downloadable slideshow which you can save to your computer in advance
You are not required to be online during the presentation, you simply need to dial into the conference call with a regular phone. The call-in number will be sent to you before the event, as long as you have RSVPed.
