Learn how to build a texting program on Action Network!

Sending a short text message to your activists goes a long way in driving turnout to a rally, direct action, or webinar. Many progressives already know this, and you may have used a service like Hustle or Relay to build a texting program for your campaign, but if you don't have the budget for another vendor -- you can do it yourself.

In this hour long training we'll go step by step through process of collecting, downloading and tracking text messages via Action Network.

This training will be led by our very own, Rose Espinola along with Melissa Byrne.

Rose Espinola is the Director of Partner Development at Action Network. Through an approach that is both people-first and data-driven, Rose has organized on over a dozen campaign victories including unionization fights, private prison divestment, and the defeat of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Rose also built Planned Parenthood’s data-driven organizing model and organized the strongest Super Tuesday state on the Bernie campaign.

Melissa Byrne was the New Hampshire Digital Director on the Bernie 2016 campaign, who first created this DIY method as Field Director for the Helen Gym for Philadelphia City Council race in 2015. Melissa is on twitter @mcbyrne and you can also reach her at melissachristine@gmail.com.
