This hands-on workshop will show how using Basecamp as our main organizing hub can turn the Green Party theme “People. Planet. Peace: Vote Green!” into daily practice, by grounding digital work directly in the Ten Key Values—especially Grassroots Democracy, Decentralization, Social Justice, Nonviolence, Feminism and Gender Equity, and Respect for Diversity—and the Democracy and Social Justice planks of the national platform, which call for participatory structures, transparent decision-making, and inclusive organizing.

Participants will learn how to:

1. explain to others how Basecamp supports grassroots democracy and decentralized power in state parties, caucuses, and committees;

2. design or improve at least one Basecamp project that centers inclusion and accessibility for diverse constituency groups (youth, workers, BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, disabled members, elders, and low-income communities);

3. use core tools (message boards, to-dos, schedules, docs/files, and check-ins) to run real projects like ballot access, peace and climate actions, membership drives, and candidate support; and

4. apply concrete norms for nonviolent, respectful online communication to reduce internal conflict and promote transparent, accountable collaboration.

The workshop will be highly interactive, with live demos, small-group breakouts (organized by role and/or caucus identity), and guided “build-your-own” time where every attendee creates or updates a real Basecamp space and leaves with a short action plan—at least three next-step tasks and a commitment to onboard at least three new or underrepresented members—so that digital organizing directly strengthens party building, electoral work, and movement alignment under the banner of People. Planet. Peace: Vote Green!
