WE GOT THE POWER TRAINING PROGRAM
We Got the Power Training Program is a transformative development experience that equips Black organizers, changemakers, and community leaders with real-world strategies, skills, and resources to drive lasting change. Designed to close the gap in base-building, organizing, and campaign development in Black communities, we provide year-round training opportunities, hands-on learning, and a network of movement leaders to strengthen the future of Black civic and political power—one organizer at a time.
PART I: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BLACK ORGANIZING (JUNE 23-27, 2025)
Are you ready to take your skills to the next level and make real, lasting change in your community? Join Part I: The Fundamentals of Black Organizing, a dynamic training series designed for Black changemakers who are ready to level up their organizing game.
This isn’t your typical training—it’s a lab! We’re breaking down the fundamentals of organizing—deep listening, relational organizing, base building, storytelling, and strategy—into easy-to-grasp lessons packed with real-world examples and practical tools. But here’s the twist: after every skill you learn, you’ll step into the lab to practice and refine it in real-time. From crafting a powerful message or mapping out key players in your community, you’ll leave each session with the tools and the confidence to put them to work immediately.
Whether you’re new to organizing or looking to sharpen your skills, this series is built to meet you where you’re at. Through engaging activities, vibrant discussions, and a focus on Black liberation, we’re building a space where you can grow, connect, and leave inspired to act. Come learn how to turn passion into power and ideas into impact!
