This is the application for Organizer Training, to be part of the Fall 2021 Metro DC DSA Organizer Cohort. The cohort will take part in a ~5 week online organizer training ~late September and October, with optional social get-togethers during and after the training. We are looking for Metro DC DSA members or allies who would like to be part of a cohort, have started organizing for liberation but still have more organizing skills to learn, and who are experienced but would benefit from the training. Apply before September 10th!
The training will form a cross-chapter cohort of ~20 members looking to improve their organizing skills and use hands-on methods to teach principles of being an organizer. This includes “Why We Organize”, “Building Campaigns”, “Developing Leadership”, “Relational Organizing Conversations”, and “Power Mapping”. We will meet on a mutually convenient night of the week.
Your answers to this form will be used to determine whether you are a fit for the cohort. Spots in the cohort are limited, but we will do our best to connect those not selected with other training and organizing opportunities. This training is intended for those who are Metro DC members, or those who have organized closely with Metro DC DSA. Please contact Taylor Woods at
