Lead Locally is excited to offer our flagship Run for Climate training series for climate leaders that are considering a run for office, already running, or staffing a campaign. Join us to level up your electoral organizing skills!

The free, 4-part virtual training runs during the month of June on Tuesdays from 6-8pm ET / 3-5pm PT.

• June 2
• June 9
• June 16
• June 23

If you’re considering running for office, already have your plans in place, hope to support or staff a climate candidate’s campaign, we want you to apply! We understand that climate might not be the top public message in every district, and if that’s the case where you live, this training is also for you.

During the trainings, we’ll cover the mechanics of planning and executing an election campaign, as well as climate messaging and the opportunities to pass local climate policy. Each training will end with a panel of elected officials to discuss the day's learning with real world experience. Sessions will cover:

1: Climate policy & climate messaging
2: Narrative strategy & campaign messaging
3: Campaign planning & voter targeting
4: Fundraising & campaign budgets

Complete the short application on this page to join the training! Once you submit the application, we'll follow up with more details on logistics.

Do you have friends or neighbors who you think should run for local office? Anyone in your community that may be interested in this training? Share this application with them – or fill out our short nomination form and we'll be in touch with them directly!

If you have any questions about the training or application process, please reach out to us at sulakshana@leadlocally.org.
