Stand up for the 99% by Running for Office!

The Green Rainbow Party of Massachusetts will be holding a Green Campaign School on Saturday, November 18th in Boston. The school will take place at Make Shift, located at 549 Columbus Avenue between 10:15 AM and 2:30 PM.

What: Across America Green candidates are changing the political climate by running for elected office with a call for real democracy, an end to social injustice, peace instead of militarism, and real solutions to the threat of climate change. This one-day campaign school focuses upon the skills and strategies that allow successful campaigns to be run in Massachusetts by candidates of the Green-Rainbow Party.

Who should attend: Anyone who is thinking about running for office as a Green (Green-Rainbow) candidate or who wants to acquire the skills to help their favorite candidate succeed while serving as a campaign manager, media director, fundraiser, or field volunteer.

Topics: Topics we expect to address include picking your race, raising the money you will need, recruiting volunteers, refining your message, using social media such as Twitter and Facebook, campaign websites, campaign literature, and Get-Out-the-Vote initiatives. We will have a panel of recent Green-Rainbow candidates who will share the lessons they learned in their races.

Cost: $20 suggested donation ($5 if low income ) which includes a light vegetarian/vegan lunch. No one will be turned away who cannot afford this donation.
