The 2022 elections are here and it’s time to get out our vote! Join re:power Lead Trainer, Atima Omara for our new GOTV training where we’ll share strategies to build an inclusive campaign, get out our vote, and win.
This is a four part training that will cover:
State supreme courts have been a part of conservatives’ analysis for decades, and progressives are unfortunately just catching up. Now, more than ever, we need to take the fight to the state courts.
Your base is comprised of people who already strongly support your candidate or issue. Since our campaigns don’t have unlimited resources, it is important to figure out how many people outside of your base you need to reach out to in order to win. This calculator will help determine your vote deficit.
In order to calculate this, you’ll need your win number and past election support information going back as far as you can.
Since campaigns don’t have an unlimited amount of time or money, it is important to be strategic and use resources efficiently. This is done through targeting, which first requires knowing your Win Number. A Win Number is the amount of votes your campaign needs in order to secure victory, also sometimes known as a vote goal. This calculator will help you determine how many votes you need in order to win if there are only two candidates in the race.
You’ll need information about the current number of registered voters in your electorate, as well as the percentage of voter turnout from the last three similar elections in your district. You can make an educated guess to determine the number of votes necessary to win a campaign.
As we head into another high-intensity election year, re:power’s Campaign School for Field Directors is a new course offering intended to build the capacity of campaigns to run effective field programs. This 4-part training series will focus on ensuring that field directors gain the skills and tools needed to determine field strategy and goals. This includes recruiting, hiring and managing field staff, voter targeting and contact, messaging and persuasion, and utilizing digital tools for organizing.
Ideal applicants come from all walks of life, from seasoned organizers and campaigners looking to sharpen their skills, to beginners who are passionate about organizing and want to start their learning journey. Here are some attributes shared by all our applicants:
Appetite for learning: Whether you have experience in organizing or not, we are interested in organizers and campaign practitioners who are eager to develop their skills further and are committed to learning and growth.
Organizing insight: You don’t need to be a professional politico, but we’re looking for applicants with experience doing organizing work on the ground. That work can be tied to grassroots, electoral, and/or issue organizing. We seek to support organizers who are currently part of a campaign effort or are seeking to build one.
Dedication to inclusive politics and intersectional solutions: At re:power, we center race, class, gender and sexuality across all our trainings – it’s part of our practice of inclusive politics. We want organizers to be open to new ideas regarding it and to the ideas and contributions from their fellow organizers who will reflect our diverse communities.
This is an interactive course. We ask participants to write in the chat box, share verbally, and participate in breakout group discussion. We understand that folks have a lot going on though, so if you are not able to participate in a breakout discussion you can let the tech moderator know. We encourage, but do not require, participants to turn on video during breakout discussions.

re:power alumni have gone on to be campaign managers and field directors on presidential and national issue campaigns, grassroots organizations, and more. Our participants work at institutions that organize and mobilize at the local, state and federal level.
We built this cohort with the busy schedules of activists in mind. Each week we will offer two unique sessions. We highly encourage you to participate in each session of the training series, as the material builds on the skills learned. Attending each session live provides the best opportunity to engage in the materials and discussion.
Ultimately we understand the complex lives of organizers and people during the time of COVID, and so each session will also be recorded and available afterwards.
Participants should set aside about 5 hours a week for coursework—including attending live webinar sessions, homework, and biweekly office hours.
You will need a technological device capable of connecting to the Internet. Windows machines, Macs and Unix boxes all welcome. We will be using Zoom and request that whenever possible, you turn on the video function.
Yes. Copies of the slides, handouts and other supplementary materials will be available to all trainees. We thank you in advance for your feedback.
We are dedicated to supporting all of our trainees in their learning. If you need an accommodation or additional support of any kind, please email civicengagement@repower.org with “Accommodation Request” in the subject line and we’ll do what we can.
Past requests for support have included, but were not limited to: early access to materials, different colored hand outs, an alternative method for completing quizzes, requesting facilitators speak directly into the camera and more.
As the 2022 midterm election nears, our movement will need to harness all our resources to mobilize our communities, inspire action and engagement for the long-term, and win elections. This training will teach candidates, campaign managers & organizers how to run a digital fundraising program from start to finish. Participants will learn the basics of digital fundraising copywriting, projecting income, analyzing statistics and how to grow a dynamic, successful digital subscriber base.
