May 30 Online
Conversations happen everywhere, not just at someone's door. How often have you struck up a conversation with someone at the market or in the library or the doctor's office? How do you start up a conversation about issues? Ask them what they care about and then listen.
Canvassing is about listening, but it takes practice. Join our virtual, hyper-flexible conversation-training program for busy activists; it combines instructional videos (around one and a half hours) and a one-hour interactive workshop. The training videos can be viewed at your own pace or you can host a house party and watch the training videos together. Everyone zooms in for the workshop.

The Megaphone app, an invite-only app (signup here!) that organizations like Granite State Progress are using to spread progressive messaging far and wide. We are working to add a mix of NH-based partner’s organizations’ content, generic content we find across the internet, and some of our own content that Granite State Progress or Megaphone volunteers create. Please join Megaphone users from across the country for a re-launch on Wednesday, May 8th at 5 PM ET as we learn about some app updates (we know there’s been a few glitches!), and hear more about the vision for getting out progressive messages, especially in the run-up to the November elections, using the app.
The event is all about coming together to fight the far right, defend progressive values, and how to be digital activists in the run-up to state and federal elections this year. We'll also be announcing a special guest speaker closer to the event! There will be a raffle and you'll learn more about how you can use Megaphone to score progressive wins this year in your state and the nation. Will you sign up to come?
