Activist Training in State College, PA on 11/9/2013

Activist Training State College PA
November 9, 2013

Attending a protest or a rally does not effect actual political change. Sign waving is a great way to increase awareness, but lobbying, letter writing, and a good ground game are necessary to change the outcome of elections, change legislation and help make a better tomorrow. It’s not enough to be active we must be effective. We must learn to …organize and communicate our message at a grassroots level, an area where conservatives have traditionally been weak. American Majority’s goal is to provide the necessary tools and resources to help conservatives become successful, and to equip them with the powerful knowledge of how to use those resources effectively.

American Majority Pennsylvania is pleased to announce that we will be holding an Activist Training in State College, Pennsylvania. American Majority’s Activist Training will teach you everything from organizational structure to advanced new media training to make substantial changes in your community.

When: Saturday, November 9th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Registration will open at 8:30 AM.

Where: The Ramada State College Hotel and Conference Center
(1450 S Atherton Street) in State College, Pennsylvania.

Cost: Registration is $20 and includes lunch and all training materials.

Training Topics*:

Why Bad Policies Hurt Real People: How policies that call for more spending, borrowing, taxation, and government are causing difficulty for real people in Pennsylvania. Learn about the “Big Government Party” and how unions are hurting our state.
Social Media, Your Secret Weapon: Learn how to use Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets to your advantage. Present your message to the masses and amplify your voice!
Effectivism: Big protests and lofty ideals are not the stepping blocks to success. Change your focus from the federal government to your own local government and learn how to become an effective voice in your community. Real change starts with you at the local level.
