Election Kickoff – Saturday August 8, 10:30AM over Zoom
Donald Trump won the state of Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes in 2016, but our problems didn’t start in 2016. And even though national groups are consistently naming Pennsylvania as the central swing state in the 2020 elections, we know that our work continues past November 3rd. How will you get involved to build a sustainable movement for the working class? At our Election Kickoff you will find out how we can build a people’s movement with momentum that will carry us through and past November 3. We have to build our power for long-term meaningful change, because we cannot rely on our elected officials to do the work for us. Gather with a group of like-minded folks who are looking to build our power!
Register here for the Zoom information.

Hosted by VOW Member and Art Therapist Dani Moss
**************************************************************
In this workshop attendees will learn about some examples of historical and local visual art that was used for social change to get inspired and to talk a little more about the issues that we are facing now. We will break for 15 minutes to make our own art using whatever traditional art media you might have lying around or by getting creative with what is in your house or space that you might not consider as "art materials." Protesters are skilled at finding materials to make signs for marches and wearable items, and you can bring that skill to this workshop as your media choice as well.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore art for social change and then be inspired to use one's own creative voice for social change. After making art for 15 minutes, attendees will return to the virtual space and have a chance to discuss with groups and share with the large group. We hope that you will feel inspired, connected and energized by creating visions for the future of our community by way of your unique mark.

Deep Canvassing 101: The Why and the How
Deep canvassing is a way of talking to voters that gets beyond the usual partisan divides and allows us to have longer, more personal conversations to really connect with people and build a relationship over the phone. We believe this is the most impactful way that we can talk to voters in this moment. This training will provide an introduction to the deep canvassing methodology, and we will practice storytelling, compassionate curiosity and listening.
This training will be held over Zoom.
