Hello Democrats,  

Wow, how the summer has flown by! With the start of September and back to school season, we are here to bring you trainings to keep your knowledge growing.

This month, we are excited to provide for you our September Activist Challenge and Spotlight Training that are all about celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through volunteering.

Don’t forget to check out the Victory Vault for all the trainings and resources you need to register your friends, plan your summer canvases, and more!

Onward,

TRAINING AND ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

September Activist Challenge 

Our monthly Activist Challenge is designed to build infrastructure for Democratic campaigns and organizations through grassroots engagement. Are you ready to accept the challenge and help elect Democrats up and down the ballot?!

For this month’s Activist Challenge, we are challenging our #BPITraining family to get ready for election mode by volunteering!

  • Sign up for and complete a virtual volunteer shift! Find a virtual phone bank or text bank for a candidate near you at events.democrats.org.
     

    • Ask two friends to register for the event with you, and commit to joining the fight to help elect Democrats at all levels this cycle!
       

  • Every week try to find 5 friends to check in with and make sure they are 1) registered to vote and 2) signing up for volunteer shifts. 

  • Reminder: Make sure to check your state’s voting laws and stay updated on voting changes so that you have a voting plan you can share with fellow Democrats in your area!

Once you’ve completed the challenge, take a selfie and create a post on social media that includes the following information:

  • Your state or territory 

  • A brief explanation of how you completed this month's challenge

  • The hashtag “#BPItraining” 

  • And don’t forget to tag “@TheDemocrats

 

September Spotlight Training 

Our dedicated Spotlight Training portion of the BPI Newsletter highlights specific trainings that cover skills and concepts integral to our work. We hope that you revisit those trainings in our BPI Victory Vault throughout the year. The trainings spotlighted in each month’s challenge will correlate to skill building that we believe is most relevant to the timeframe in which it is recommended, allowing participants to put their new knowledge to work right away. 

After reviewing these Spotlight Trainings, we will encourage you to share and implement what you have learned within your local Democratic organizations and groups.

Spotlight Training: Spanish Language Training Series

This month, the Best Practices Institute is highlighting the importance of celebrating different cultures and reaching people with tools they will be the most receptive to. 

Check out our Campañas Con Calidad (3C) Spanish Language Training Series, which is conducted entirely in Spanish. These trainings are targeted toward our Spanish-speaking members who are looking for ways to organize and win campaigns in Hispanic communities.

Additionally, check out some of our 3C trainings below!

Happy training to all the amazing Democrats stepping up to run for local office, and those who are continuously working to support their campaigns!
