DESCRIPTION:Successful movements are built through conversations and relationships. 
 Whether you’re knocking on doors, engaging with your community members at 
 events, or gathering petition signatures, canvassing is a powerful tool for 
 organizing and mobilizing people into action. \n\nJoin us for an 
 interactive Canvassing Training Workshop where you’ll learn the essential 
 skills to confidently engage with the public, persuade, mobilize, and build 
 relationships to kick off or strengthen your local divestment campaign. 
 With Tax Day coming up on April 15, you can use canvassing as a creative 
 method to engage your neighbors, share information about where our tax 
 dollars go, and build your local base of supporters who will advocate for 
 divestment. This training will prepare you to have effective, informed 
 conversations that bring people into collective action.\n\nYou’ll 
 learn:\n--Why canvassing is critical to build winning campaigns – 
 Understanding campaign phases (popularization, mobilization, escalation) 
 and how canvassing works as a form of direct outreach can popularize your 
 campaign & grow leadership to sustain every phase.\n--Messaging & Framing 
 – How to craft compelling conversations that resonate with different 
 audiences.\n--Handling Tough Questions & Opposition – Strategies for 
 navigating challenging discussions and overcoming 
 skepticism.\n--Role-Playing & Practice – Interactive exercises to build 
 confidence and refine your pitch.\n--Building Long-Term Support – How to 
 track and follow up with people to sustain momentum.\n--Taking Action – 
 Committing to local canvassing/outreach efforts on Tax Day & spreading the 
 word via the Tax Day of Action map\n\n- Get ready to hit the ground 
 running! This training will give you the tools and confidence to host a 
 canvass to kick start your divestment campaign. You’ll feel equipped to 
 have meaningful, persuasive conversations that bring more people into the 
 movement.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/03/27/18874963.php
