Attendees should expect to leave the daylong training having practiced these skills and with a packet of materials to inform their comms activities.  Staff and volunteers expected to understand communications strategies and play a role in their execution are also encouraged to apply. Cost is $50.00 per person. Because space is limited, we may not be able to accept everyone who applies. Please tell us a little bit about yourself and why you want to come to the training. We aim to offer these trainings to as many people as possible to strengthen the progressive movement. While there are costs involved—staff time, food, venue rental, and materials—the fee we’re asking for covers the basics. However, we don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone. If you can’t pay the full amount, simply pay what you can afford. And if you’re unable to pay at all, please apply anyway—we’ll do our best to accommodate you! If accepted into the program, the trainer will discuss with you about payment options and sliding fees. Deadline to apply is Monday January 19th, 2026. https://actionnetwork.org/events/apply-now-communications-basics-training
