The People's Congress Delaware

End: Saturday, June 27, 2020 4:00 PM

Want to learn how to write policy to improve our state? Want to learn how to navigate our different bodies of government here in Delaware? Want to engage your own neighbors in the political process?

Then apply to be a Delegate of the People’s Congress by June 5th!

The People’s Congress is a “legislative training ground” for those who wish to improve their understanding of how our state and local government works through both a hands-on simulation of being an elected official and creating a “People’s Platform” at the completion of the simulation to serve as a foundation for political advocacy.

The People’s Congress is where you join a simulated experience of our actual legislative bodies to get the chance to learn what it’s like being a legislator by researching/writing policy, building statewide coalitions, and understanding how to best gather feedback from your own districts.

Delegates get support writing resolutions and develop a complete “People’s Platform” to use to advocate for more equitable policies in our city halls and state legislatures.

This year the People's Congress is joining with the Building People Power Campaign so your efforts working on policy may become the next priority with the campaign!

If you are also part of the District Advocate Program, the People's Congress will serve as your second training!
