Organizing by Tanya Tarr, Director, Legislative and Political Mobilization at Texas AFT.
Tanya Tarr spoke about grassroots organizing via retail politics, social events, and social networking. She emphasized the importance of maintaining lists of contacts so you have a place to start when you’re ready to find volunteers and money for the next campaign you’re supporting. Don’t be afraid to ask for money, and once someone gives you money, don’t be afraid to tap that person as a volunteer. When someone gives you money, it’s a show of interest. We as women have great power as messengers. Let’s use it!
