YDSA Pressure Campaigns - Choosing a Demand and Identifying a Target

Start: 2023-01-03 19:00:00 UTC Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada) (GMT-05:00)

This is a virtual event

This is the first of two trainings that will prepare your chapter to launch a strategic pressure campaign in the new school year. Here's what we'll cover on this call:

  • Each chapter will identify a widely and deeply felt issue that they can organize around in spring 2023
  • From there you'll choose a strategic demand
  • Then you'll identify a target - the person in power who can give you what you want

In 2022 YDSA chapters won increases to the minimum wage, secured better working conditions on campus, mobilized in support of striking campus workers and much more. And in 2023 we’re going to win even more.

That’s why we’re holding two trainings in early January about how to launch a powerful campaign in the new year. Whether your chapter has already been running a campaign for months or you’ve just started discussing the idea of making demands, these trainings are for you. The only requirement is desire to make a change and the belief that through organizing, we can win.
