Thursday, December 17, 5-6:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Ohio needs community organizing now, more than ever. Come learn, or get refreshed, on some basics of community organizing.

Do you consider yourself as someone who is fighting for social change? Do you call yourself an activist, an organizer, or an advocate? A community member who wants to understand how to bring about political and economic change?

Well, Ohio Voice wants to support you in doing your work better!

Please join us for this “Organizing 101” training where we will cover some key concepts of community organizing and some basic tools and skills for organizers and community leaders.

This training will be useful not only for “new” organizers but also those with more experience.

Trainer Bio:

Alwiyah Shariff is the Training and Fellowship Manager at Ohio Voice. In 2007, as a high-schooler, she started her organizing career on a campaign to raise the minimum wage and learned how to advocate for young people in the system. Since then, she has worked in multiple sectors of the social justice movement, including protest organizing, lobbying, union organizing, and field organizing — registering over 45,000 young people in Ohio to vote as Ohio Student Association’s Field Director.

She’s also been a trainer for multiple training institutions, including the Midwest Academy, Momentum, and WildFire. She is coming to us from her role as the National Membership Coordinator with the Working Families Party and is eager to work (strictly) in Ohio at such a critical time in our country. She lives in Columbus, Ohio with her family and loves to travel back home to East Africa.
