Thursday, March 31, 12noon-1:15pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Power mapping is a great tool to use when you are doing research on an issue, strategizing around a campaign, or writing out a campaign plan. Power mapping should be one of the first steps you take before beginning a campaign and fight for justice. If you don’t, how can you possibly know where the power is and who are your targets? Your targets can be who has the power to actualize your demands or whatever your campaign goal is. You don’t want to miss this training! We will record this training but we’d rather you join us for this training to learn how to power map and think through ways of applying this practice to strengthen your campaign to advocate and empower communities. Our facilitator will be Alwiyah Shariff, Ohio Voice’s training and leadership manager.

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.
