The Center for Progressive Leadership is excited to announce a new addition to our family of leadership programs, the 2008 Voter Mobilization Training. One of these nationwide trainings will be featured right here in Virginia, and we are asking you to be involved in making a difference in 2008!

The training is supported by leading organizations in the state such as: the Virginia Organizing Project, the Virginia Interfaith Center on Public Policy, and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters. It is going to be a historic year and we are excited to help train the leaders that are going to make the change we need!

The CPL 2008 Voter Mobilization Trainings equip first-time and seasoned grassroots activists, organizers, and campaign staff with the skills they need to run successful campaigns, expand voter outreach, and build on progressive issues in 2008 and beyond.

This interactive and engaging, two-day workshop led by highly-talented trainers with expertise in: field and electoral organizing, campaign management and voter outreach strategy. will take place on Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17 at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden- Education & Library Complex (ELC) in Richmond.

The training website and registration are up, so check out more details on the training at:

The agenda includes informative sessions on: Direct Voter Contact, Online Organizing Tools, Campaign Planning, and much more. It is a two-track program for intermediate and advanced participants, which means that a wide range of progressive activists from first-time volunteers to experienced leaders can participate in this statewide event.

This is a great chance to meet fellow progressive activists across the state!
