Night School Summer Update

Written by: Arshad Hasan on Jun 4, 2007 4:12 PM EDT

Hey everyone! 

You have been participating in DFA’s online training program Night School for a while now. Since you’ve been involved in Night School I wanted to give you an early heads up about our upcoming Semester starting next week.

In past semesters, we’ve explored many skills needed to run an effective campaign or organization including working with the media, getting out the vote and holding officials accountable after the election.  During the last few months I have received numerous requests to cover sessions on one of the most important and often most challenging aspects of campaign work: raising money. 

It all starts next Tuesday, when we learn how to take the necessary first steps of writing out a plan on how to fund your campaign.  Next, we focus on two of the most effective and commonly used (or misused) fundraising tactics: Fundraising Events and Candidate Fundraising Calls.  Finally, we’ll wrap up the Summer Semester by looking at two tactics that have revolutionized fundraising in recent years: Online giving and Email.

We’ll send everyone more details later this week, but since you already know a bit about how Night School works I’m asking you to invite two of your friends to attend as well.  Better yet, host a Night School House Party and invite all of your friends! 

Join us as we learn how to raise the money we need to continue taking our country back.
