This 3-part, 9-hour training is free to members of the disability community in Wisconsin who want to explore the principles of collective action to impact issues important to the disability community. Whether it’s cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, the lack of caregivers, quality education, or other issues important to the disability community, this training will give you the connections and skills to have greater impact on public policy.

Sessions are 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the dates below and will not be recorded so participation in ALL THREE sessions is strongly recommended in order to improve your effectiveness in community organizing. We encourage people to participate in groups because there will be opportunities for small group discussions.

This is a great training to prepare for Disability Advocacy Day, which will be March 19 at Monona Terrace and the Capitol in Madison.
